Please keep Python in perspective. Whether we use 1.5 or 4rc1 is a lot
less critical than using Python to work together well and solving big
problems as friends.

In years gone by I spent time on the soapbox but never came away cleaner
or with stronger friendships. I just ranted and spent years wondering
why nothing actually changed. Please don't make my mistake; come up with
your own.

Together. As friends.

That reminds me of this quote about football (soccer):

"Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, 
it's much more serious than that." - Bill Shankly
