I agree. Wikipedia is convenient but almost never suitable as a learning resource. I'll see if I can find a friendlier general netiquette link. Recommendations welcome. > > Some items missed (irrespective of GG usage) 1.

Such rules aren't applicable to only GG users. The alternate recommendations made to GG users here (to use usenet and email) are always made without a list of netiquette rules even though the recipients are the same people using GG. Why should GG users be told about those rules when they get advice about using GG but not when they get advice to use email or usenet? What would be best I think is a separate page with general guidelines for posting that any user could be pointed to. Regarding esr's "smart-questions", although I acknowledge it has useful advice, I have always found it elitist and abrasive. I wish someone would rewrite it without the "we are gods" attitude. Thanks again for your feedback. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
