I share Lars's disgust.  Mark Brader has suggested that I try
posting a copy of the comp.lang.c FAQ list here in comp.std.c, at
least on a trial basis.  I'd rather not clutter this group with
it, but of course I'd also rather not see this group get mired in
the same old tired inanities.

If I post it at all, I will probably post only the abridged
version (~650 lines), once a month.  Please mail me your comments
on this suggestion.
