Coincidentally, I just happened to see a link on Reddit leading to a post by the same Ersek: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.c/msg/22e3473f80eec...

Like his message to Zed, it's clear, concise, and seemingly accurate. It also includes a wonderful and well commented example program in expert idiomatic C showing signal handling. I hadn't even known comp.lang.c was a going concern!

It's exactly the sort of quality code I'd expect from someone who writes such good prose. While I'm sure there are some examples of good prose writers who can't code, are there any definitive examples of good C programmers who can't write? Or is this just a "true Scotsman" problem?
