But I really don't think we've had any trolls in the NG lately, although perhaps one or two people have been *extremely* grumpy ;-)
Aye - one thing I've noticed on both py-dev and here, is that when people seem especially snippy, sarcastic or touchy, my best bet is to assume it's something in real life that's pissing them off, rather than anything I actually said.
And that assumption usually turns out to be pretty close to the mark, and things return to being civil after a day or two.
Cheers, Nick.
P.S. I think this list may experience the problem more than py-dev, since the greater number of contributors increases the chances of at least one regular poster being in a bad mood at any given point in time. That's a subjective impression rather than a scientific fact, though :)
