<p dir="ltr">I know that I for one will not join "yet another special communication channel" rather than email. I've never heard of slack, other than seeing that it's a walled garden.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Other folks are welcome to use what they want, but choosing some non-standard flavor of the month will certainly exclude the majority of people who use universal email.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Hello,<br>
While you all are wonderful people, there are too many of us to offer introductions. Stop introducing yourselves. Most of us don't appreciate the emails. Please keep the replies relating to python; not who you are. If we were a team of 20 people introductions
would be great, but we are all over the world and introductions are pointless. Nobody is going to remember you; I'm being honest and not rude.
</p>
<p dir="ltr">If you feel the need to introduce yourself to a group spanning the globe have a nice chamomile tea, maybe a GABA pill, get some sleep, and then say hi to your mom and tell her how you are a member of this awesome python group; then don't tell us
who you are. </p>
<p dir="ltr">When you have a python problem to solve, or a <u>python</u> question, say hi, state your name, then focus on the python details.
</p>
<p dir="ltr">We all like you, we don't like the spam.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thanks,</p>
<p dir="ltr">Joshua<br>
Madison, WI</p>

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
</div>
I am Chee Ming and I hail from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Been using Python for quite a few years, building web apps and APIs powering mobile apps. I love how Python works, and never looked back. And vim for life!<br>
</div>
<br>
</div>
<div>We have a small Python community in Malaysia, but enough to do a "mini" PyCon recently (<a href="http://www.pycon.my/" target="_blank">http://www.pycon.my/</a>).<br>
</div>
<div>Great to read about others around the world.<br>
