Why wouldn't I post in here? There's currently a 84-post thread 
in this Announce forum discussing Atila's blog post about what D 
got wrong.

Similarly, this is the thread where the topic is the next DConf. 
I almost never send private emails over community matters, which 
should be discussed publicly.

I didn't say I never attended one, I probably sat through 
something back in my college days. I watch some conf videos now 
and then, but like most techies these days, don't find any value 
in going.

I'd like to meet you too, but I think if it happens, it won't 
ever be at an outdated format like the current DConf. :P
