When you assume that only 50 people would like my suggestion, you assume 
that all the other 99.99 percent of Python users wouldn't like it, just 
because you don't. If I am wrong - correct me.

As you may have noticed, I did take your comments seriously, and 
referred to every one of them.
I'm sorry if my remark offended you. I will try to be more polite in my

and I think you should try to eliminate it in your future posts.
