After reviewing the "Problems with dict subclassing performance" thread, I am suspending Marco Sulla from Python-Dev for a period of three months. His behavior became blatantly inappropriate, and rather than apologize he continued taunting those that were trying to help him. Marco took exception to Steven D'Aprano's post, but I see nothing in Steven's post in either style or substance that warrants any moderator attention. -- ~Ethan~ Moderator
