Unless that attitude changes, you'll probably one day find yourself
hanging out in comp.lang.flavour.of.the.month saying similar things
about Python and its users.  The character of a newsgroup changes over
time, and very seldom for the better.  But the language has nothing to
do with the newsgroup, and it's pretty sad to see somebody wishing
that one of the genuine highlights in the history of computing would
die a slow and pathetic death simply because his feelings were once
hurt on usenet.  Please do everyone a favour Aaron.  Get over c.l.l.,
and enjoy Python without disparaging Lisp every time you see half a
chance.
