To borrow a line from the original Star Wars, you will never find a more
wretched hive of s*** and villainy. We must be careful.
Comp.lang.c is a fine newsgroup, as long as you never actually expect to
participate. Never in my life have I seen such utter, sneering disdain
for
newbies (with the possible exception of comp.lang.c++). Virtually every
question asked descends relatively quickly into senseless flames. The
signal-to-noise ratio is very low.
I consider myself a very competent C programmer -- nay, even an expert --
and I have vowed never to go back. I recommend you ask your question on
microsoft.public.vc.language. There is a certain amount of newbie
intolerance there, but much much less than in comp.lang.c, even if your
question isn't directly Visual C++ related.
