[muted cheering is heard in the background]

I regard your ability to recognize and respond to intelligent criticism as
an even better demonstration of your greatness than the excellent language
design and implementation abilities you continue to put into Python.

That fact that *I* was unable to convince you leaves me feeling somewhat
chastened about the qualities of my own criticism, however :-)

 Steve
