Finally had to plonk google gorups.

Hmm, according to this thread I probably shouldn't bother even trying
to contribute to c.l.p discussions that are highlighted in the Python-
URL announcements, even in cases where I think a core developer's
perspective may be of interest. As someone that only posts here
rarely, and uses Google Groups with a Gmail address to do so, it
sounds like I'll be kill-filed by a lot of people regardless of the
contents of what I post.

*shrug* Ah well, such is life.

Cheers,
Nick.
