Just search the archives for "rantingrick". He's been around a few years now, and my estimate is that 99% of his posts are haranguing others for refusing to agree with him, declaring that the silent majority of users agree completely with him, that people are going to run away from Python to Ruby or some other language unless we *immediately* drop everything and work on fixing whatever deficiency Rick cares about this week, and making accusations that GvR and the other Python developers are so caught up in some bizarre power trip that they are deliberately sabotaging Python's future. I have seen him actually make a constructive, helpful post. Once. By memory he helped a n00b with a Tkinter problem. But for every short, helpful post he writes, he writes about 80 or 100 long, useless posts that turn this list into a tar-pit of wasted time and frustration and halves its usefulness. Save yourself a lot of time and just killfile him now. You'll thank me for it later. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
