I was merely pointing out that the D community comes through as 
desperate. Whether that is objectionable depends on how one wants 
to be perceived? Maybe it is the truth? In that case it is a good 
thing that it comes through as desperate!! ;^)

And yes, when it is posted to the announcement list by one of the 
D language designers it is given a different status than merely 
being a random rant using toy examples. Obvious ranting is okish 
if it doesn't pretend to be more than that, but then it isn't 
something to be announced... is it?
