Request: keep dlang learning material _on_ the forum

[Andy Valencia]

I'm seeing a recent trend where postings here are just URL 
references to messages and example code which are hosted 
elsewhere.  For the immediate author or reader, I suppose this 
works OK (though if I don't recognize the domain, I almost 
certainly won't follow a link to it).

But another value of this forum--one I've used often--is that it 
is a standalone repository of the efforts made in asking and 
answering questions.  Link rot is a thing, and it would be a real 
pity for this forum's archival functions to be degraded by 20%, 
30%, perhaps more than 50% by the loss of the content which makes 
it informative.

Please take this as a heartfelt request to ask and answer in text 
which is held on this forum, and to paste code into the forum 
post itself.

Thank you for giving this a moment's thought.
