Sumon, I think that you do not understand the perception of spam in
technological circles. Today, there is no way to initiate contact with
a business offer via email. None. All email solicitations are
unwelcome. I tell you this to help you. I do not know if you receive
5000 spam messages a week like I receive, but know that a sizeable
portion of the Python list gets considerably more. These people hate
spam.

Actually, I am not a programmer by trade. I learn python for fun while
I study mechanical engineering. I read the python list for the wisdom
that passes, and rarely post.

I recognized that from the beginning, and stated that in my original
post. Which should have been kept private between us, now I realize.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
