It is worth more than everything you have said on this topic to date.  (At
least one useful application has been written with Tkinter.)

Not a single useful application has been written from a single one of your
(all too many and all too often irrelevant) words so far.  In just this
email you managed to write 2 senseless paragraphs filled with gibberish,
rambling garbage that serves literally no purpose, just to say that the
previous poster deviated from topic.

You have destroyed the initial meaning behind your very first post with
countless misspelled, poorly constructed insults.  Nobody is listening to
what few points you may (but probably don't) have left.

And here's the kicker: if any of your points are even close to valid and the
community does decide to depart from Tkinter (mobile computing is probably
the biggest argument for it), then it will be pioneered by the next sane
person that suggests it and you'll still be the crazy relegated to so many
people's spam box.  (All of whom have contributed more to Python than the
last 3 weeks of your life spent on this web of trash).

While you may claim to understand computers and computing (although I'd
argue you no longer see it as a tool, which it is, but rather as a religion
to be wielded as so many others have in the past), they are programmed and
designed by people.  What is this "people" thing I'm talking about?  It's
ok, you wouldn't understand.  Suffice it to say that nearly all projects of
the magnitude you seem to be projecting requires joint collaboration and
participation of these people things that have long since forgotten your
point and stopped listening to you.

Here's to hoping that affords you some sense of success and accomplishment,
Jason

P.S. I appreciated the other XKCD comic, though that one I had seen. :)
