Felix, the answer is: "Your neighbor's cat !". :-).

Why don't we create another note group "comp.lang.c.guru" for those who 
are much better than the rest ?

But whichever way you turn, I think there will always be people asking 
silly questions. Hey ! Every day, there will be new people getting into 
C programming and I don't think they should be shot for asking silly 
question.  After all, it should be "Computer/Programming for the people",
right ?
