Sure; put the following into a file and arrange for "cron" to mail it
to you on a regular basis.

	CONSTANT COMP.LANG.C DIGEST

	Novice asks:	When my totally scrambled program broke, why?

	Chris Torek responds:	[120 lines of detailed explanation and
			examples]

	Henry Spencer responds:	C works like that.

	Jim Giles chips in:	This shows how the C cabal is trying
			to rot everybody's mind out.

	Herman Rubin says:	C ought to let me test the overflow
			bit; after all, my machine does have one.

	Dennis Ritchie says:	If you want assembler, you know where
			to find it.

	Regular C user asks:	Does the Standard say anything about ...?

	Several:	Yes, it says ...

	Somebody:	Well, that's horrible!  We should never let a
			committee meddle with C.  C has always been
			like it was on the system I learned it on!

	Doug Gwyn replied:	Dammit, X3J11 knew what they were doing.
			Go away.
