He could remain anonymous. And how would you know if he did contact you anonymously? As to your demand that one of the "top Pythionistas" [sic] say something? I declare hereby that I am, in fact, a top Pythonista. [1] Rick, go fork Python onto Bitbucket. Call it Python 4000 if you like, or just "Python with a better IDLE" or whatever. Go! Shoo! Code! There. A top Pythonista has spoken. And if the above satisfy you not, I actually said it out loud too, just to be sure. That's how important you are to The Python Community (capital letters and all). ChrisA [1] Start here and follow the thread. I've done all of them. (Actually I probably haven't, and I haven't even read the whole thread, which just came up when I googled 'pythonista', but I defy you to prove me lying.) http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2003-June/207114.html
