History: There used to be an ABC developers list, only. Then there was a
users list as well, then development issues started getting discussed on the
users list and a consensus seemed to develop that users were interested
enough in what went on that everything was on the users list. So now there
is only a users list, but it's used for everything. Not sure if the users
list is actually dead and rotted or if it exists but is unused. The
difference is academic anyway.

What Groucho said was that he wouldn't want to be a member of any club that
would have him.
(Think about it. I am not going to elaborate, now or ever).

Some of the points were responded to - look at the archives if your memory
fails.
You may feel that you demolished all the opposing arguments, but some of the
points about which you have a quite clear opinion are in fact just that:
matters of opinion. Some of us are of the opposite opinion. In cases like
this people can finish up agreeing to differ. ABC developers are (as far as
I know) all in this voluntarily. Where a consensus emerges, things get
done. Where it doesn't things become more "interesting" - in the sense of
the old Chinese curse.
May you live in interesting times.
