Overall, "me too!" pile-ons _are_ "the [bulk of the] mess" to most list subscribers. It will die out on its own in time. Dr. Brett should know by now that he'll never get the "last word" with Dr. Marco, And everyone should know by now that Dr. Marco won't let anyone else get the last word either ;-) So stop feeding it. That's the practical thing to do. Like almost everything else in CPython-land, list moderation is a volunteer thing. I've been the most active (by far) list moderator here essentially forever, but I see my only _legitimate_ job as stopping spam. I might step in to block blatantly illegal posts too, but that hasn't yet come up. If you want more active moderation, volunteer for the job. I'd happily give it up, and acknowledge that my laissez-faire moderation approach is out of style. Else suit yourself: unsubscribe if you like, and come back whenever you like. It's all self-serve, and you're welcome here whenever "here" is welcome to you. As a matter of courtesy, though, it's less disruptive to the list membership if you just unsubscribe rather than announce to the 3,585 list members that you're considering unsubscribing ;-) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/ZK5YV5SPYCGKGE3UX2BTRFAGMGRKIJIS/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
