Because the questions are *not* about C. C is widely used
in a huge variety of situations and those applications
have nothing to do with C the programming language.

For instance C may be used to program anti-lock braking
systems but a discussion of the physics of ALBs though
possibly interesting is not on topic for this ng.

To avoid cluttering the group you should not post OT
stuff.

The reason many people think you should not reply
other than to point to a more relevant ng is that
few people in this group will be experts on the non-topic
stuff.

If someone asks a Linux question someone may give an answer.
It may be wrong. On a Linux group this will be quickly spotted
and corrected. So here is a good place to ask C questions.
It is not a good place to ask about SYS_mount.

they are helping they are explaining to the poster where
he should have asked his question.


Do you seek financial or legal advice in a pub?
It's certainly available...
