comp.lang.c is a newsgroup focusing on the C programming language.  It's 
in the name of the group - it's not hard to grasp.  If you want to 
discuss some aspect of C programming that involves buffers or cache, 
fair enough.  But "buffering and caching" is no more topical than 
coffee, no matter how much coffee a C programmer might drink.

Please stop posting random junk to comp.lang.c just because you have 
some vague idea that somehow everything is connected to C programming.

I don't follow the other groups listed here, but unless they are very 
different from their newsgroup names, it is unlikely that many of your 
posts are relevant in them either - since most of your posts are devoid 
of any content, I can't see why you bother writing them.  Your 
meaningless cross-posts to multiple groups is nothing short of 
anti-social vandalism.  Groups like c.l.c. are not moderated, so there 
is no way for anyone to stop you - but I can still hope that you have a 
sense of decency and simply don't understand basic human interaction.

I have seen you occasionally make posts that have a question or 
technical content that is at least somewhat topical.  Please try to 
stick to doing that.  Many of the experts in c.l.c. have already 
kill-filed you and will not answer any of your questions, but some might 
if you change your attitude significantly.
