What if we don't want to? I do that all day long.

It is completely dismantled because someone does something that gets
it blacklisted, booted from this infrastructure, without options for a
meeting space, without users, etc.

Maybe this whole discussion ends up with a complete failure of the
group, or maybe it ends up in a smashing success, but no discussion is
surely not the correct course of action. This sounds an awful lot like
when people say "JFDI" and "show me the code" without appreciating the
problem and just wanting a solution.

Since we're using quotes: "If you build it, they will come."

If you just want this to be over with, filter the threads on your
client. comp.lang.python is 100% Python code discussion.
