   Then I don't see why you made it.   
      
   About 8 months ago, I wrote the above, "Read what people write,   
   not what you think they meant.", in response to a specific post   
   by a specific person.  It was relevant to a discussion that was   
   then taking place here on comp.lang.c.  (I'm not interested in   
   resurrecting that long-dead discussion by mentioning any more   
   details.)   
      
   Your followup a month later, "This rule is a good one for other   
   people too.", was vague and irrelevant to that discussion and   
   to comp.lang.c.  If you had been making a specific point, perhaps   
   it would have been a useful comment, but apparently you weren't.   
   Perhaps you think it added something to the discussion.  If so,   
   I disagree.
