I concur that it is time to make a decision and move one. I will support whatever we decide.
I want to apologize for not being clear in my earlier reply.

I should have been clearer that I was not referring to Anatoly here but to the "Help Vampire" in python-list. I am under no illusion that Anatoly's behavior is going to change substantially. That was really a point I was trying to make earlier. And I can see that some of what I wrote could be read as if I were trying to absolve him of responsibility for his actions and for the current negative situation. I didn't intend to imply that. > We tried to get him to be a productive contributor, it's time to admit > we failed, and stop him being a drag on everyone else.
