As a professionally trained "philosopher" and "programmer", I'm perfectly well aware that the onus is on _me_ to make others respect & appreciate my skills and what they offer. Posting to usenet about how others just don't "get it" is, in fact, not "getting it".
Even further, using "religion" as the antithesis to the glorious philosophy which produces only truth makes this little more than the standard net rant of "your way is different from mine and therefore wrong". I can just as easily use "philosophy" to mean "the pointless rantings of obsessed individuals"... Seriously, this fails on every single level it aims at. - alex23 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
