This is NOT alt.fan.monty-python. Python is a LANGUAGE.

Well, I was considering letting the standard freakishness of 'hey, a new
group, am I the first to post?' just wear off as it always does, but
with the new frequency of postings regarding, 'hey, who says we can't
talk about Monty Python here!?', I felt it time to say a few things.

There is a newsgroup alt.fan.monty-python for the explicit discussion
of Monty Python.

comp.lang.python was created for the discussion of the Python
programming language. The language Python got its name from
Monty Python, as the author states in the source code distribution, but
this is not really the place for discussion of the person, rather
the language.

No, I'm no net.cop, just trying to do something about a situation
that has already gotten out of hand.

If you don't get alt.* groups, well then complain to your News
or System Administrator.
