I cannot think of any case where restricting discussions of sex 
will restrict anyone's ability to write code in D or talk about 
the language's development.

I thank Walter for keeping these forums focused. It would be 
really hard to recommend D otherwise. There's no way I could 
recommend D to a class full of grad students if the primary forum 
for discussion were not family-friendly.
