I'd like to thank the people who emailed a response to my comment about
returning a pointer rather than an entire structure.  They correctly
guessed that I wasn't up to date.  (My K&R is from the late seventies,
unfortunately I've been doing mostly FORTRAN since then.)  The reason
I read this group is to catch up on the C language standards, I suspect
I may again in the future make an assumption based on old information.
I'm sure you people will update me. :-)

I'd also like to thank the people who emailed a response, rather than
posting, for emailing.  They recognized that the misunderstanding I had
was not of global concern and therefore there was no reason to waste
bandwith by posting.  Being able to discern between problems that a few
individuals may have versus something that really affects most people
is an important attribute when deciding whether to post or email a
response.  I'm glad to see most people showed they had that ability.

Now, please, I respectfully request that you (emailers and posters) stop.
Enough is enough.  Thank you.
