Your suggestion that you were not proposing to change the D language is  
either supremely misleading, or flat out lying.

The original post said "Why not eliminate the requirement for semicolon  
statement terminators."  If you didn't mean D, then what the hell are you  
talking about?  And why on the D newsgroup?

This is a very very old argument.  It's been argued about 5 times on this  
newsgroup alone.  And one more time isn't going to change anyone's mind.
