Have you ever looked at your high school photograph and said "phew, why did I choose to have such a funny hair style?". It was a similar feeling when I was looking at the archives of a discussion group. 

It was way back in 2001, me and Ganesh started a discussion group. The purpose of the group is to discuss and learn the C based programming languages (C, C++, Java and C#). It had subscribers from both academia and industry. There were healthy discussion on these core languages and their design. We used to send some newsletters. I happened to find few of them from the archives. Some of the points, which I considered to be important ones, seems to be funny now. Read them and have fun.
