Please don't judge the whole community by this thread, I promise we're
not all bad!  The majority of the traffic on this list is of a useful
sort, and you can learn fairly quickly the addresses that are best
ignored, blocked, or otherwise passed over.  For myself using Gmail, I
have a filter set up to mark particular threads that I don't want to
be notified about and mute them after the first few mails come in.  I
didn't see your message initially because it was part of a muted
thread, I only saw it at all because the thread spilled over the 100
message mark into a "new" thread in Gmail with one of the replies to
your message.

Also, if you have a specific question about how to do something in
Python you can try the tutor list (tutor@python.org) which is much
more focused, much lower traffic, and has several very knowledgeable
Pythonistas listening in.

Give us a chance, and I don't think we'll let you down :)
