I find this response quite pathetic.  The bulk of Terry's post has been 
snipped.  My own earlier response has been ignored.  Please Benjamin get 
out of your ivory tower, there are people such as myself who want to 
help, but we feel locked out.

Yes I am aware that I've more than trodden on a few toes as part of my 
learning curve, but all in all in I'm very proud of the fact that in my 
brief tenure I've helped the Python community.  The number of responses 
that I've had stating "Thanks I've forgotten that one" far out number 
the negative ones.  Actually I've never had any negative ones.  I guess 
that some of you are not as bold as I pretend to be.  Honestly by nature 
I'm very quiet and shy so when I start talking like this I'm being very 
serious and it's taken me years to get there.

Further, issues don't have to be closed, but what has to happen is that 
any issue that get raised *MUST* have a response.  This doesn't mean 
someone bumping the Python versions up five years after the issue was 
raised.

Fly back at me if you like.  I don't care about me.  I don't care about 
you.  I do care about Python.

Kindest regards.

Mark Lawrence.
