Yep. I can only post here for about a week or two until someone blows a
cylinder and gets ugly because they interpreted something I said as a
criticism of the language and took it personally by extension. Then I
have to take a 4 month break because I'm VERY prone to
reciprocating--nastily. I think its a symptom of the language's
maturing, getting popular, and a minority fraction* of the language's
most devout advocates developing an egotism that complements their
python worship in a most unsavory way.
I wish they would instead spend their energy volunteering to moderate
this list and culling out some of the spam.
*No names were mentioned in the making of this post.
I joined this list some time ago, I am not a regular python user.
I have maintained my list subscription because when I'm bored the flames
here are very entertaining.
I don't think I need to mention specifics really.
Oh, and the weekly thread about immutable default arguments is a
cracker...more please.
