   One day ago i posted a simple question about the 4byte large ints 32-bits
   compiler have.. and i got  11 answers, 
   all of them saying mostly exactly the same things.. I think this is very
   annoying and unnecessary, couldn't you guys 
   read what other people have answered before you post the same things?

We do, but with network delays and not being "on the net" all of the time we
often do not see each other's responses until after we have posted our own.
Don't complain, there are lists and newsgroups out there which would have
ignored a question which was so obvious to us in "the know".  At least here we
are not snobbish enough to have left you swinging in the breeze.

BTW: Didn't anyone ever warn you about biting the hand that feeds you?  The one
person you may have put off by your complaint may be the one who knows the
answer to your next question.
