Ha! Exactly!  It's just as Walter has said before: our time is better spent making D better for those who are already using D, or who are *genuinely* interested in adopting D, rather than bending over backwards trying to please the crowd that, after you fix their current complaint, will only move on to the next excuse not to use D.

It's a forum quirk.
