Mark, I appreciate your calm and reasonable requests for people to checkout the page you gave a link to, that's why I repeated your advice. It is also why I responded to Chris and not to you. However it does not change the fact that people here have responded in rather extreme way to GG posts including calling GG users "twits" and claiming GG posts damage their eyesight, as well as repeatedly denying the obvious fact that GG is much easier to use for many than to subscribe to a usenet provider or to a mailing list. One frequently sees words like "crap", "slimy", "rubbish" etc to describe GG posts which is pretty intimating to people who just want some help with a python question using a tool they already know how to use and have had no complaints about in other places. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
