Yes there is, for example I found it useful (I'm interested in dynamic languages but I'm only subscribed to c.l.p) maybe others too. Gave me a much needed 5 minutes of recreational reading of his website which was just about perfect while drinking my coffee during coffee break :) > The value of a Python-specific forum is directly reduced by the > amount of off-topic noise that occurs in it.

Are you seriously worried that c.l.p will be overtaken by zealous dao fans?
