C is a deceptively very simple language.  It has very simple constructs
but to apply them properly requires profound technical insight.

Just one example:

The poseurs on this NG have actually posted C code similar to this:

===============
Begin shit code
===============

type1 function_1(...) {
....
}  

type2 function_2(...) {
....
}  

....
while(...) // loop over
{
....
var1 = function_1(...);
....
var2 = function_2(...);
....
}

=============
End shit code
=============

Then the poseurs will fawn all over themselves for
a great coding job when their code, like the above,
is pure shit.

They can't see the glaringly obvious shitness.
