    I have never seen it before. The postings are mine. And I see they go 
back to antiquity. Winsock I must've inquired about and lost interest. I 
don't do MS windows stuff. I am interested in linux and C but don't have 
time to do everything. If you know Linus Torvalds and many have said he 
created "git" as a play on British slang meaning a mean and contemptable 
person. He fits the bill believe me. I have ran into many. I also study law 
not mentioned there in spare time. I am reading the VMS manual and I'm in 
chapter two.

    Many things I have at some point lost interest in. comp.lang.c is not a 
freindly group for those considered outsiders by those who are regulars. And 
I'm not a regular. But if I post there I get something like...

"1/10 you're losing your touch."

I can't control other people and what they do and say. There are some who 
have taken up for me. And I'm evidently hated by the computer world some 
would have some believe. Linus Torvalds is not easy to work for either he 
claims himself. So it's not just me. If you don't like what someone says you 
usually kill file them or ignore them. Some that are trolls evidently like 
to point fingers.

    I have considered DEC machines and do want to submit time to it. As I 
have it. C I am settled on. But that takes time too. Many things mentioned 
on that page I do not deal with. Like anything to do with windows.

    A lot of this has died down. I'm not quite sure what the title of the 
page means unless sarcasm. One of the people mentioned has died and made fun 
of everything I said. I did mention that I do take medicines for anxiety and 
panic and I do and have trouble remembering. He changed his tune. He started 
a fad I believe.
