In addition to the fact that “rusi” evidently does not hold that position, the Virtualenv project has its official discussion forum hosted at Google Groups, and the above quote merely points that out. One can recommend strongly against Google Groups in general as a dreadful service, while still directing people to the official discussion forum for a particular project which has made the (to whatever degree misguided) decision to use that service. -- \ “Simplicity and elegance are unpopular because they require | `\ hard work and discipline to achieve and education to be | _o__) appreciated.” —Edsger W.
