How many followers of comp.lang.python

[rantingrick]

Seems like the only thing people are interested in is bickering and
name calling. I noticed the post "Does Python really follow..." has
over 400 post mainly from the same 10 people. Maybe this is why Guido
no longer wishes to be a part of this group. Where is the sense of
community here?

Anybody care to correct me, because i would love to be wrong about
this, but i fear i am 100% correct.
