Well, I apologize for bringing up a subject you don't enjoy
talking about. Has anyone ever told you guys that you don't
handle constructive criticism well? I've seen it as a lurker
on this list as well as c.l.p, and now firsthand. 

And Guido, the problem with having a crummy attitude like 
this is that it tends to infect those around you tainting 
the whole project. Don't turn Python into another OpenBSD 
or qmail.

Have you forgotten that without users and potential users 
Guido, Python would cease to exist?

Sorry, but I don't remember ever requesting or expecting anything.

In any case, thanks to those few who had the maturity to offer 
a constructive response to a question which is not well explained.
