I can't tell. I do know that he ignores all advice. I'm plonking him.

Apparently he has learning difficulties.

He's a very sophisticated troll.
He's on topic.
He addresses the technical content of posted replies.
But it's his complete lack of arrogance
that fools most people into thinking that he's legitimate.
And he's consistent about all of that too.

I see what you're doing here. But I don't think it's what I'm looking
for.

It looks that way.

Yes he does. He is seriously challenged. Some time ago he explained some
of his difficulties, mainly to do with memory.

I am convinced that Bill is not a troll and is using C and Usenet as
part of his therapy.

We should help him as much as we can, and not be offended if our advice
doesn't "take".

I doubt the physical address would be very useful to you. For one
thing, the physical memory of your task may not be contiguous. And I
think it's likely to keep changing anyway.

It could also be that he has discovered that relying on political
correctness to override common sense is a proven tactic.

A big smile comes on my face when I see a thread made by Bill. Thanks! <3
