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.

At the end of the day, all The Clique can ever do is fall back on this
bald assertion that the majority agree with them. There must be at least
a thousand lurkers in this group for every one that posts, and finding
out what the majority of them thinks will never be possible.

Common sense tells us that *real world use* of C is topical in a C
newsgroup.
