Of course, and I was not intending to offend here.  It was more of a 
running commentary on the unintended influx of Arch Linux users to the 
channel and some of the responses posted to them (some of which I found 
rather amusing when forwarded to me - especially the early response as 
people were figuring out what was going on).

I also agree with the "NO ARCH" topic at the moment. I was fairly 
surprised so many people went to #python for help given we had made news 
posts and had a topic in our IRC channel pointing to how to start fixing 
issues.
