When I saw this, I checked the timestamps on the unexpired articles at this
site and found that, on the average, 4.5 arrived each working day.  That isn't
what I would call near-zero volume.  Perhaps you were observing the holiday
lull?  (Including the weekend articles would lower the average to 3.6, which
is, although low in comparison with comp.lang.c, still reasonable compared to
*really* low-volume newsgroups like comp.std.misc.)

So, why not try to move those postings to comp.std.c, where they belong?  As
long as we have the two newsgroups, we ought to try to use them to reduce the
uncomfortably heavy traffic in comp.lang.c.
