[META] Moderation hand-off.

[Peter Seebach]

Well, it's been a long seven years. For seven years, I've logged in almost
once a day, checked the mailbox, complained about spam (special kudos to
appsales.net for lying to Sprintlink's legal department and getting themselves
another two weeks of active spamming!), and approved posts, often even topical
ones.

I need a break. Luckily, I've successfully negotiated a changeover, and
the newsgroup will be in capable hands.

Your new moderator needs only a little introduction. He is a successful
and published book author. He is (or was fairly recently) a member of the
ANSI C committee. His name is legendary in the field, and he has had
correspondence with many of the luminaries of C standardization and writing.

Starting at 12:01 AM (GMT) on 04/02/2002, moderation will be being handled
by Herb Schildt. Let's all wish him good luck dealing with the spam. :)

p.s.:
The FAQ probably needs to have the "return type of main" question changed if
it's gonna keep getting approved.

Well done! It's about time we recognized the importance of this seminal
writer on C. His creative improvements to the stodgy old standard must
be applauded.

Does Herb have a high enough graphite content to be a good moderator?
