This group is to be a FRIENDLY, HELPFUL group of PEOPLE & BOTS

On this mailing list, it is most appropriate that one doesn't feed the
trolls. :)
I base this group's OPERATING SPIRIT/PHILOSOPHY/PRINCIPLES upon,
among other things,
the spirit of the
Python group, and the

BayAreaDebian "Shotgun Rules" philosophy.

Westward the course of empire takes its way;
The first four Acts already past,
A fifth shall close the Drama with the day;
Time's noblest offspring is the last.
