The odd thing is that, now that I've talked about it...it doesn't even happen on that original site any more. I can't figure out why it happens sometimes and not others. It's an odd feature that has been around for a long time but I've only seen it recently on two sites:
1) the microsoft site
2) oreilly.com - digital book site
Very odd.

Long time ago I received some basic training about C in short community college class.
The teacher made references to "ANSI C ".
Just run into very confusing documentation while trying to
detect standard window "close" AKA " click X" icon..
Mixture of event / receiver / default implementation /re implementation.
Hence this , non programming question,
Is there such thing as "ANSI C ++ " ?

No, It is an ISO (International Standards Organization) C++ standard. I think ANSI (American National Standard Institute) stopped producing C/C++ standards some time ago. Now they are all ISO standards.

[This is written with a smile on my face so please take it like that]
Sorry to disagree with you, but you see, I'm an atheist so for me the world is not structured in terms of a fight between good and evil. For me it is a fight between humans and jerks and I cannot behave in a jerkish way because than, they have won. So I have to remain polite and helpful even in face of rudeness and aggressiveness. The hope is that the other one will realize there is a higher road and will take it. (In most cases it doesn't happen - I'm not delusional  ).

Thanks for letting me know the context buddy. You never know these days.  Not sure what being an atheist has to do with any of this though.
Real talk though, not sure how many narcissists you ever met... if none you're lucky dude.  But uh, I promise you peeps like this dude will walk all over you with that philosophy. Life's about balance, that way of thinking is admirable... when it's deserved. Not when it's abused.

Oh, I had my share! When they are too close they are really hard to stomach 
And you have to admit, there are some very slight positive signs: first he stopped giving us directions how to answer, now he gave up on CAPS, so maybe, just maybe... I'm not gonna hold my breath though

You have zero credibility dude. Clearly some will fall for your nonsense, but not all of us.
By the way, it's a programming language question, so it's borderline. Categorically speaking, it should be in the appropriate forum. You know this and you know exactly what you're doing. Those of us who have been around the block also know.

IT IS MY FAULT I asked
and these nice people expect me to be sorry

Yes, I enjoy giving instructions which are ignored.
but telling me how to write my posts using AI is an OK instruction
very nice crowd

It is not anyone's fault; but you really need to spend a bit more time thinking before you post. Almost every question you post here, in the forums, or QA, could be at least partially answered by doing a bit of reading/research first. Maybe then your questions would actually gain you the sort of response you seem to believe you are entitled to.

You're free to start a web site (elsewhere of course) of whatever flavour you choose.
People winge here about Windows issues, so I'm not sure why Ubuntu/Linux issues shouldn't get a winge or two as well. Maybe just mark your post in the Lounge as a Rant, as long as your post is a rant, wherein you vent your spleen on whatever horror you're expected to deal with. E.G. "Last update removed 'Focus Follows Mouse' and I'm steamed about it" or some such.
Of course, your issue may not be a Ubuntu issue so much as a difficulty groking something from the Ubuntu/Linux mindset. Someone might be able to help you with that, or point you to a path of enlightenment.
Depending on the issue to hand, maybe a post in "Weird and Wonderful", might be appropriate?
There's always your blog, of course. As long as it's not outright advertising, and I assume it remains KSS, I think you can post whatever you like there. Not sure if anyone will see it, but maybe just posting something, somewhere would be cathartic and serve it's purpose.

I guess I could just try and see if I get banned here.
Long story
my better half required emergency medical help.
It went OK, she has recovered.
Next day I open my Ubuntu and try to connect to my boombox,
Ubuntu Bluetooth manager listed both
EMT PC and my boombox.
Yes - Ubuntu Bluetooth "manager" does not bother to physicality check for Bluetooth device , just gets the list from some unknown database.
That was several Ubuntu releases ago and it still does it - list a device which no longer exists.
In addition - if the device does exists , it gets connected on boot, then promptly automatically disconnected and has to be removed with usual "are you sure ?" before it gets identified, and still not connected.
Apparently I am not the only one impressed with Ubuntu Bluetooth -
somebody referred to Ubuntu Bluetooth implementation as
"rabbit hole"...

THERE'S A FORUM FOR LINUX PROGRAMMING QUESTIONS. YOU MAY HAVE BETTER LUCK ASKING LINUX SPECIFIC QUESTIONS THERE.
See, other's can bold too. We don't for a reason...

No I didn't. I already told this dude I'd never help him. That's going too far for this guy.
