I have sometimes thought that py-dev would be improved by a mechanism
for moderation of first-time posts.  Spam would be blocked and
'inappropriate' first posts *politely* redirected to clp, the bug
list, or the patch list with carefully prewritten messages.  On the
other hand, I would probably have redirected the ternary op post and
missed the surprise of Guido apparently giving serious consideration
to an addition.
