He did so.

We also have innocent experts to be defended. Walter Roberson is an expert

C programmer who contributes his expertise freely to this group. You 
appear to be an expert critic who contributes his bile freely to this 
group. Of the two, I prefer C expertise. Is it just possible that you 
could occasionally find the time to restrain yourself from attacking the 
locals?

That's all we /ever/ get from you. If you think the way Walter replies to 
questions is wrong, show him the way, by providing perfect replies 
yourself.

I have seen little sign of understanding from you so far. Lots of neg and 
hardly any pos. Do get a clue, there's a good chap.

That's inherently self-contradictory, and shows the kind of muddy thinking

that leads to misunderstandings about C.
