None of those usernames are mine except this one (snk_kid). You need to stop making assumptions and nobody really cares about a comment voting system. You come off as a child making such an unprofessional post in a public mailing list of a programming language. Is this what the D community is about? I've never seen anything like it before, its pathetic.
