You know... I think I just realized where a big part of my misperception of the Python community was. Which is that until todayish, I had not realized that he was regarded as a troll by the rest of the community. But now that a couple of people have told me this, I am a lot more comfortable referring to the Python community in general as "welcoming". I sometimes enjoy trying to extract information from people like that, but I will respect the preferences of the actually-helpful people and drop that line of inquiry. :) -s -- Copyright 2011, all wrongs reversed.
