I remember clearly when Richard was wrong. It was when he thought
that he was mistaken. He also cut himself once, shaving with Occam's
razor. Seriously, Richard Heathfield is one of the frequent posters
to news:comp.lang.c who knows a lot about the C language. I have
learned things from Richard's posts on many occasions. He has a very
wry and dry sense of British humor that sometimes goes over everyone's
head, including mine.

I suspect that the topicality has had a wee bit of drift here.
