Surely that's the wrong way round? If you want the atmosphere
around here to be more positive, *make* it so by posting positive
articles.

I have to say that I'm not satisfied with the views I've read from
people defending the status quo. It does seem to me that there's
an elite here who want to maintain the "purity" of this group, and
they seek to do that by stifling discussion of topics they consider
outside their own interests in C.

You are wrong. The answer is extremely simple. I, personally,
like a newsgroup where people are all discussing the same thing.
The item that creates that 'same thing' is the C standard, and this
is why we consider anything that ignores it to be off-topic. The
majority here agree with me.

Yes, I do occasionally get off-topic. The reasons are many. But I
do try to control it. There are others here who simply don't make
the slightest effort.
