No. But the attitude of the orignal poster is not exactly nice. Just because
you need some advice it is not a good idea to crosspost to any ng/mailing list
your mind can imagine. The argument of the OP is somewhat silly. Just because
gentoo is (among others) written in C it is not the proper forum to asko for a
C book. Actually I don' t mind such questions if they are not too much, but
the argument is plain silly. With the same argument I can rationalize that I
can ask about motherboards in comp.lang.c++. After all the language C++
requires some hardware to operate which means that it requires a motherboard
wich means that is the proper ng to ask for motherboard stuff. Apart from that
you probably get better answers if you ask in the right forum. Just because
somebody posts to gentoo-user doesn' t make him a qualified C programmer who
can give good advice about books or related stuff.
