Quote from Sparohok:
There are already many knowledgable participants in the Python newsgroup who help ensure that the discussion is factual. I'm posting here to share information with people working on similar types of applications that I am, some of whom are apparently not as knowledgable. I apologize that I was unaware of how inappropriate this behavior is.
And I came here to discuss a serious performance problem with the cPython interpreter, which suggests an incipient conflict with the roadmap for commodity hardware. Since that doesn't meet your agenda of promoting Python regardless of the facts, my posts don't belong this thread, which clearly belongs to you. Once again, I can only offer my apologies.
