Sadly, my feeling is that the amount of vacuous discussions and
hair-splitting debates is steadily increasing.  Just to see, I had a
look at the archives for July 2001 (because that's around the time I
took up Python) and the list definitely had a more interesting feel to
it.  It also made me realise that many of the best contributors have
gone or only make rare appearances.  Anyway, there was little spam,
but already some trolls, e.g.

    "Is Python Dead?"
    http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2001-July/091178.html

Not everyone was convinced about PEP 238 (new semantics for "/"):

    http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2001-July/090659.html

Did you change your mind, Terry?  I too used to be against it :)

I'll stop now.  Cheers,
