[PSF-Community] STOP THE INTRODUCTIONS

[Abu Ashraf Masnun]

While I'm not surprised to see the different opinions and disagreements
regarding the introductions, I am a bit surprised to see people sending
harsh emails about these.

I have created a filter in gmail which puts all community mailing lists
into a dedicated label. These emails don't get to my inbox. I read them or
skim through them at my leisure. I find it easier, less time consuming and
polite to setup a filter, switch to digests or simply unsubscribe.
