That man, along with Ian Clarke, have stirred up the biggest flame war
in the Perl newsgroup that we're seen for a long time, inflicting their
standard overrighteous prattle on us.  I realize that they aren't truly
representative of Python people in general: several others have been
entirely reasonable and educative.  I'm not sure hoter users realize
this, however.

On that killfiling issue, I just hope you're still around when I have
Python questions. :-)

    That's because ksh doesn't much mind opening up security holes.  The
    absence of taint checks is not exactly a feature.
