No problem, it's not about you specifically, it's just that some of us
fans of % formatting can be a tad sensitive about it, especially since
the idea that it has been deprecated (or soon will be deprecated, or one

widespread on the Internet.
Seems like maybe this should become a question in the Python FAQ.
