Say, I'd like to suggest that these articles on the sins of C be
posted to comp.lang.c and/or comp.std.c.  Then, let's get back on
track to this newsgroup's actual charter.

I don't have the actual charter in front of me, but it seems to me
that 'society' and 'futures' kinda sez it all ... and doesn't include
discussion of whether pointers in C are good, bad or indifferent.

What is the *future* of computing, and how will it impact *society*.

Thanks mucho.
