About the last -- no complaints about (that) in other places -- Ive recently seen that on the html/stylesheets/javascript lists (not sure which) there are also annoyed complaints about GG. About the rest -- when people get annoyed they say and do things they would not otherwise do. The sensible not-yet-annoyed-enough-to-lose-the-head folks should try to cure the annoyance rather than get annoyed with it -- dont you think? In short if we are programmers we should be thinking bug-fixes when we are bugged :-) And what is put up here https://wiki.python.org/moin/GoogleGroupsPython (only yesterday BTW) is a dynamically loadable GG-bugfix. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
