Hmm it was not a tendency I noted recently I rather felt it was always a strength of this community to be helpful. I would love to have the same kind of replies most of us are giving by example for some Python stuff I am trying to do. (It is because I want to tame the beast and not because I like its beauty). Put shortly, no, I do not really feel this tendency, maybe just an increase in traffic?
