Reading back here's what I saw:

  1) Talk about initializers and how to zero structures.
  2) I ask "is there a machine that doesn't represent null pointers as
     zero?" to illustrate that is nearly no variation in the
     representation.
  3) You respond with a curt response about the C standard without
     addressing the point.
  4) I try again, politely.
  5) You respond with more about the standard.

Yes, I used sarcasm. I am poking fun at your know-it-all attitude.

Chill out.

Cheers.
