Walter, I just look at the stats for comp.lang.python, and i am 9th place for most post this month. That makes me completely sad. With just 50 post so far, i am showing up on the high count. Sad, very sad. Now i have much reason to believe that only 100 or so people follow this list :(. Python is slipping. We must try harder, or all of Guido's work will be for nothing!
