Just to make it clear: 1. I have no objection to the python list culture. As I said I tend to follow it in places where it is not the norm and get chided for it [For the record on other groups which are exclusively GG/gmail based Ive been told that because I am geek/nerd I do it in a strange way] 2. Nor to people getting irritated with others not following it and telling them off What I am pointing out is that if one gets so besotted with irritation as to lose coherence, its unlikely that any useful communication will ensue. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
