Are you saying that this group is only for "serious" programmers? "serious" is also a matter of opinion. I have some serious programmer friends who maintain, in complete sincerity, that serious programmers should not waste time on slow, script-kiddie languages like Python, but should be developing their skills with serious professional languages like Java, C#, etc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
