There is a GOOD reason why he asks for those public domain statements for all contributions. > lack of planning for the standard library user APIs - Andrei rewrote half of > phobos - with no regard for integration efforts with tango, and so forth. He rewrote it to all fit in to a unified plan. He made requests for comments on this group several times.

Give the big names a good reason to discuss technical subjects with you - an expectation that they'll have to sift through dozens of noise posts isn't that reason. -- Adam D.
