Lessons Learned:

1. Python people should not pick fights with Lisp people.

2. Lisp people should not insult Alex Martelli.

3. Python's syntax is one of the worst features of the language and 
should not be adopted by Lisp and Scheme.

Joe Marshall's analysis is establishes this. There have been no 
responses to Joe Marshall's analysis that successfully refute his 
analysis.

4. The productivity of the prolific posters must have precipitously 
phaded.

5. Use Ruby, be happy.
