I think we're all talking about three different posts and getting them all 
confused with each other:

- This one: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.d.phobos/359  (Posted by 
a Lars *Igesund*)

- A post elsewhere in this very thread that took the post above, replaced 
all the words with the word "blah" and changed the last name to 
"Douchegesund".

- A post on the Tango Forums, that used to be here: 
http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/forums/topic/878 but is now gone. This 
one was made by me reposting Walter's original post in this thread, at the 
suggestion of Jason House and Walter (FWIW, we were just trying to be 
helpful. Not that I'm taking it personally or anything).
