My request that the discussion of different beers be taken to a
different newsgroup was a serious suggestion, even if the part
about comp.lang.c++ was not.

(Otherwise, just a suggestion, try to ignore [OT] marked posts.)

Your suggestion has approximately the same content as one to try
to ignore assholes.  In other words it's roughly equivalent to
saying Fuck you.

More on-topic;  I'm curious what problems a C professional has
with C++.

Such a discussion is better carried out in comp.lang.c++ than here,
both because it is more related to C++ than it is to C, and also
because there is a greater level of expertise in C++ there than in
comp.lang.c.  I expect that essentially all C++ developers have a
pretty good working knowledge of C, whereas many C developers do
not have a good working knowledge of C++.
