Welcome to newsgroups.

The name of a newsgroup generally states something about its subject 
matter.  To look the parts of this example:

digitalmars - the newsgroup is operated by Digital Mars.
D - the newsgroup is about D.
learn - the newsgroup is about learning.

So this is the Digital Mars newsgroup about learning D.  As such, 
putting just "D" as the subject line is useless.  A subject line must 
state something that distinguishes your post from other posts in the 
newsgroup.

Anyway....

Been said many times already.

C doesn't have templates.  What are you talking about?

Not sure how useful this complexity really would be....
