This is not a newsgroup about writing C compilers.  It is about the C 
programming language.  That means we discuss the language, the C 
standard library, the C standards, and questions about what C means. 
Occasionally, we discuss implementations of bits of code in C, if it is 
particularly interesting or informative about the language.

Why don't you start by reading some of the threads here - ignoring your 
own ones?  There are some threads that are off-topic drivel, 
unfortunately, but you should be able to figure out what is on topic and 
what is not.  If you can't, don't post.

And think about what other people might find interesting.  Do you really 
think anyone here cares about the life-stories of a particular student 
or lecturer at a particular university?  (Don't answer that - it is 
rhetorical.)

I have - again - set the follow-ups to alt.dev.null.  I did that because 
I do not expect you to reply.  I expect you to go away, read threads in 
the group, and think.  (This applies as much to the other newsgroups as 
to comp.lang.c.)
