He he.

I remember my mother thinking there was absolutely something messed up in the mind of Lewis Carroll, but for some reason I always loved these books. As crazy as they were, they always seemed full of good wholsome satire.

Though posting this here may just be unnecessarily adding fuel to the fire...

Whoops! I missed quotation marks!

We can settle it easily.

At this moment the King, who had been for some time busily writing in his note-book, cackled out "Silence!" and read out from his book, "Rule Forty-two. ALL PERSONS MORE THAN A MILE HIGH TO LEAVE THE COURT."

which also means that everyone below that height has no reason to feel bad. ;)

Nice i could do something good to this discussion which leads nowhere.

> Theres a misunderstanding, I like the howto's, and I dont care that you post to the newsgroup.  Im asking in addition to the posting to the newsgroup, why don't you put them on the web so its easier to read , and people can find it that aren't in the newsgroup.

Then i think someone can simply add them to the Wiki4D. I think this need not be the Author, because the license for usage of this newsgroup includes, IIRC, that posted material can be used to promote D. I would do it myself if i wasn't that busy picking up a good quote. ;)

I figured that out. Seems that Manfred has not.

You mean you weren't quoting from memory?! Ah man, you've just destroyed my admiration for you. ;-)

Well I must admit, it is a little odd to refer to a person by their initials in direct address (especially when their name is known).  But this newsgroup is an odd place, so it's "unimportant." :-)

To have a more clear picture I added a "= 0" to the right of such a call
and the compiler spit out:
   'list.opCall(1).opCall(2).opCall(3)' is not an lvalue
Now it is quite obvious, that the compiler prepares only one call to `foo'
aka `list'.

So long!
