Sorry for the poor message delivery on my part. My comment was intended to refer to the amount of troll feeding in recent times and the disproportionate amount of discussion on seemingly (to me) trivial discussion (e.g. tabs and spaces). But then again what might seem trivial or idle to me may be a treasure trove of interesting discussion to others. So maybe I'm wrong to criticise and the quality of discussion on this group is bubbling along just fine in the opinion of others. What do others (including those usually silent) think? As this newsgroup is an important face for D, could or should it strive for better? Cheers Justin Johansson ps. Re xxx and $$$ type spam, yes, the NG has been mostly spared -- crossing your fingers seems to work for that Walter.
