printf(string) is legitimate C, forcing "printf("%s", string) is just silly.

My apologies for being repetitive, but the original point is that printf(string) is insecure unless you can guarantee that you control 'string' now and forever. Also, %s is the format for printing strings, so I just can't agree that coding printf("%s", string) is silly.

Silly is not the right word. printf("%s", string) is inefficient. In this case, it would be better to use puts/fputs.
