The Python newsgroup (and corresponding list) comp.lang.python has always seemed to me much friendlier than Debian lists, despite the fact that they are of similar sizes. I claim therefore it is possible to have a big group of people working and talking together even about controversial issues without flames, if the group as a whole considers it a good thing and there are prominent role models that eschew flames and actively calm things down when they get hot. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
