So you're suggesting that we spam other newsgroups?  That's brilliant
advice.  It takes a real rocket scientist to think of this one.  That's just
like saying, "Hey, Mr. President!  Why don't we waltz on over to China and
brag about how many tactical nukes we've got!"  Yeah, real smart.  People
like you are the reason this planet has world wars, you know that?

Maybe its this way for readability purposes, and not laziness?  In fact, I
find it makes much MORE effort on my part to use indentation to arrange
Python code than in C.  Yet I prefer Python's indent-oriented block
structure over C.  This is coming from a 12 year C programmer.

No.  Before is as you describe above.  Applying Python's indentation rules
strictly would be as follows:

(
   2+3
*5

I'm sorry, you loose.  Unclosed brace error.  Please try again.

Why would we want to?  What makes you think that we have the right to
impress our views on other software developers?  Likewise, what gives you
the God-given right to impress your beliefs on us?  Calling us lazy and
attempting to incite people here to start a jihad in other newsgroups?  You
call that professional behavior?  I think not.  We don't NEED to boast about
our language of choice.  The language boasts for itself.

Go ahead and try and convince us to switch our ways.  And good luck.  You
will need it.
