Welcome. First off, let me point you to the group's FAQ. Do take the
time to read it.

Perhaps, but we post and read only on this group. Also please be aware
that <news:comp.lang.c> is a "Usenet" group, something that predates
both Google and the Internet. Google Groups provides a web interface to
the distributed global network of servers that is called Usenet or
sometimes Netnews. The more traditional (and perhaps better) way to
access this network is via a newsreader and a connection to a news
server. Free newsreaders are available for almost all platforms and two
excellent public news servers are
http://news.aioe.org and
http://www.motzarella.org.
