No, it's not like that. It's that there are some people who, despite
truckloads of evidence to the contrary, still think that Google Groups
is worth using. Rusi is one of them. Fortunately, he has defended his
position by making his posts not look like the ridiculous junk that GG
creates by default, but that doesn't make GG a good product. It's like
an argument my boss and I had: I said that PHP is a bad language, and
he said that it can't possibly be a bad language because he's able to
write good code in it.

I don't know what mailing list there is for virtualenv as I don't use
it, but there's likely to be an alternative source of knowledge on it.
