Huh, who cares <crap/> about your ready disposition to fly off the 
handle or not about <shit>. I cannot see the relevancy in your answer to 
the OP's post and find it hard to imagine that others would either. 
Sure I'm prepared to be corrected.

As for the OP's suggestion about advertising for dev help not users, 
well that to me is pie in the sky especially given that D-complete is 
not totally open source.  And sure that is Walter's perogative.
