Yeah. But more important is, of course, that you are important to the 
development of D, even on your own. That means, that unless you are 
careful with the time spent on this newsgroup, it will unduely eat away 
from your time with actual development. (And even thinking, in some cases.)

For example, spending copious amounts of ink on trying to explain some 
of the most esoteric features to some who have no chance of getting it 
with any amount of explanation, is a waste of time. Let the ideas 
trickle down. At the end of the day (er, actually, the month), the guys 
sitting next to him will explain it in more suitable terms anyway.

Also, sometimes being too terse, only causes a flurry of (either 
misunderstandings, or) a barrage of questions, that you then have to 
answer, instead of answering properly the first time around.

BUT, THIS IS not important, and please, don't take the above personally. 
It was just thoughts in response to "not planning to discuss minor 
features". They're important too.

AND I'm not perfect either. Definitely not.
