Except--speaking as one regular of c.p--I didn't find it terribly
off-topic. comp.programming is pretty lenient about topic, because
we're a small enough group not to worry about traffic.

If it's genuinely computer programming related (and it was IMO)
then (again, IMO) it's fine.

Completely bogus answers are somewhat less fine, tho....
