Splitting c.l.py...

Thanks for expressing this, Tim. You've been missed. Then, to compound
matters, I read the following Advogato diary entry from the effbot the
other day and truly began to wonder if the good old days were gone:

"""
5 Jun 2000 

                Just noticed that the Python version of the eff-bot has been online for five years (give or take a few days). 

                To celebrate this anniversary, I've decided to shut down the comp.lang.python newsgroup eff-bot! 

                (Frankly, it's been a while since c.l.py was the most interesting place in Pythonia, and it's no longer the endless
                source of positive energy it once was.) 

                But to avoid offending anyone (or everyone ;-), lets just say that five years is a very long time on the net. It's
                time to find other channels for the eff-bot. 

                Onwards!
