That's how they are, but if you are going to say silly things. At 
least take the initiative on yourself to go see if the bug 
already exists. Odds are it has probably already been reported, 
someone making a forums post about it is just able the next step 
after the bug report has been sitting in the queue for 4+ years.

The problem isn't reporting the bug, it's that for D, no one is 
managing bugzilla. It seems to be the conclusion was reached that 
this is not a bug and won't be fixed. That could have been done a 
long time ago and closed the bug. Or at least I think Jonathan is 
part of the Dlang organization. Not sure, hard to tell who is and 
isn't on these boards.
