I've built up a great respect for Derek over the past couple of years.  And 
to see him just snap like that.. It irks me.  Derek has always been (in my 
view) a voice of reason, and for him to suddenly leave D about .. what?  A 
misinterpretation of Georg's comment?  A feeling that he has "no effect" on 
D?  Guess what -- very few people really do!  And like Walter already said, 
Derek's on the acknowledgements page, if he's looking for some kind of 
validation that he's actually contributed something!  As if managing one of 
the most popular D tools wasn't enough!

I'm just really disappointed with how Derek's reacted to the situation. 
That's all.
