	Request for Peter's List
	Mr. Seebach, I do not wish to post overmuch to comp.lang.c or comp.lang.c.moderated on the Schildt matter for these reasons: (1) I have a lot to say, and I say it well, about linkages of this issue to broader phenomena including negative politics and the philosophy of language, but this will clog the groups, intended as... more » By spinoza1111 - Oct 4 - 1 new of 1 message
