So pick a favorite already and argue with the folks on c.l.py about which one will be presented to me. I'm serious. I don't want a hundred people arguing their separate points with me. If that's all I get the current syntax stays. If the community can agree on something they can support, I will listen. But it has to be a unified voice.

More importantly, don't go either collecting or posting votes on this issue to python-dev. If all you have to add is either "+1 to this" or restating prior arguments, use comp.lang.python. I'd suggest the thread "Alternative decorator syntax decision" in that group.
