Actually no i was purposely implying Mt. Vesuvius. You know, the VOLCANO that erupted and left poor Pompeii in ruins? Here is some text from the wiki verbatim: """Mount Vesuvius is best known for its eruption in AD 79 that led to the burying and destruction of the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. They were never rebuilt, although surviving townspeople and probably looters did undertake extensive salvage work after the destructions.""" I modified the text "slightly" to reflect our current conundrum: """Guido and Pydev are best known for their absence around 2000, which led to the burying and destruction of comp.lang.Python (and the community as a whole) in ash clowns. They were never rebuilt, although a few surviving "good" townspeople did undertake extensive attacks from trolls after the destruction.""" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
