this is rich. no pun intended. i've seen my share of pearls on the usenet. but this one deserves to be framed and hanged by my desk.

so we have monsieur leech here. he's not contributing any code bug reports or even posts. his grand total of posts is six. but in fairness they include this chef d'oeuvre. but mind you he is watching! guess we gotta be grateful for that. so grateful that we should change preference on the subjects we choose to discuss. we now have to chat about packages and stuff whether or not we know or care about'em. then make proposals. then have walt implement them pronto. that way monsieur leech can continue enjoying using the language and reading the newsgroup. of course posting on the subject of packages would be too much effort for monsieur leech. he'd rather just watch.

but wait, monsieur leech has even more good advice. he don't see any changes in the dmd compiler. sorry walt. your best ain't good enuff for monsieur leech. guess the monthly releases, wads of bugfixes with each of'em and the neckbreaking evolution of d2 don't count.

now if you'll excuse me. i have to prepare a post on the subpackage access subject.
