Actually, at least in the context of this mailing list, Fredrik doesn't 
have to worry about that at all. Why? Because he is one of the most 
prolific contributers to the Python language and libraries and his 
contributions have been of consistent high quality.

You, on the other hand, are "just some guy" and people don't have a lot 
of incentive to convince you of anything.

I have no opinion on the actual debate though. Just trying to help with 
the social analysis :-)
