Noble goals. And now that you said that I don't understand how I could have overlooked that in the first place.

Maybe it would be a good idea to put a bit more stress on the "no" in "no sacred cows", that's an important point beyond just K&R. Nothing should be sacred, including "Learning C The Hard Way" - and a "question everything and everyone" mindset is generally a good thing to have as a programmer [I think I read that in "The Pragmatic Programmer" ;-)]. But other than that I now think that chapter is fine. I do apologize for the somewhat passive-aggressive form of my question.

Thanks a lot!
