That's pretty harsh Ketmar.  It's obvious he knows the general 
ideas and was just wondering if using the .NET GC was a viable 
option.  I think responding to others in such a demeaning way is 
harmful to the D community as it isolates people.  It doesn't 
encourage people to be curious or want to start a discussion.  
Having people, especially newcomers to D come in and make 
suggestions and solutions is a great thing for a community.  It 
means they saw enough potential in the language to want to know 
more and maybe even how they could contribute.
