Brilliant. It takes a real whole human being to make an admission like that (or even to bother to question their own behavior sufficiently to bother re-reading the thread). I think a lot more of you for the admission. Not that you really need care one way or the other what *I* think ... We all have off-days. About three years ago I went completely apeshit at someone in a fit of tiredness-induced pique, as was at one point amply evidenced by http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2007-August/thread.html#454510 Strangely the universe conspired to stamp on that thread, and it appears to have been lost to the python.org archives. A Google search for "Steve Holden" and "not a fucking computer", however, reveals that my shame has not been totally expunged.
