Is this a D1 or a D2 discussion forum?

I find it rather humiliating to respond to a post in a D1 context and later
finding out that the
OP was coming from a D2 context.*

(*In reference to a post I made earlier today re XML for D, ranges, streams
etc.)

It's time to split digitalmars.D into, say, digitalmars.D1 and digitalmars.D2,
and perhaps
saving digitalmars.D as digitalmars.DX for *very*, *very* general discussion.

Worse still is to think that newcomers may feel a significant probability of
humiliation
because of the confusion and hence *do not* contribute.  This cannot help the
common cause.

What's your opinion?

I often had a bit trouble to see if the talk is D1 or D2.
But the overlap is also huge and the difference isn't of much importance
on many subjects.
Let's see what other people think.

D1 isn't supposed to change that much and development of the language 
only happens in the latest version (2). The newcomers along with any 
user who considers them selves experienced but not quite sure on a 
particular thing, should ask those questions in D.learn. Also 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/d is a great place but there 
is no point in Dx groups.
