: Guido van Rossum, the creator of Python, is not going to change this 
: fundamental aspect of Python. We don't want him to. We all like it.

Could you please change the last sentence above to:

"The majority of Python programmers likes it."

There are at least a few regular python programmers who post here
that do not like the forced indentation in Python. I agree with 
something like an official response since the situation will not
change and the subject has been amply discussed.

Otherwise I will be forced to keep on being the "ennemy within"
of this newsgroup :-).

Cheers,
