Definitely not the c.l.py I recalled[snip]
I guess I'm not going to stay around all that long this time.
That would be a sad loss for all of us out here who very much appreciate your very deep knowledge of Python and your willingness to share it.
I do understand the feeling though; Fredrik Lundh jumped at me only a few days ago when I said that I personally found list comprehensions more readable than map. I certainly don't mind being advised or corrected if I've written incorrect or even just suboptimal code, but attacking a person's mental processes seems kind of needlessly aggressive to me.
I don't really have a good solution; despite the unnecessarily vicious comments, I don't feel like I can set my newsreader to ignore messages from, for example, Fredrik, because his answers, when not attacks, are often very insightful. If you find a good solution to this problem, please let me know.
