According to [the C standard?], DB was wrong, and TR was half-right.

Yes, it seems I was inaccurate about the compatibility - the names
of the struct and fields need to match across translation units,
not just the types of the fields.  That's why it is important that
/you/ read the standard.

Only Keith eventually agreed that one of you (and Tim) was right,
but didn't care who, and the next day admitted that one of you
might be wrong, but still didn't want to commit himself as to who
it might be.

That is what is very worrying to me, and makes this a toxic

with how KT treats me and how he treats TR.)

If your comments and style were more like mine, you might find that
how Keith Thompson treats you would be different.

Incidentally, Keith doesn't always respond to my postings with kid
gloves.  If something I say offends his sensibilities he isn't shy
about calling me out on it.
