How dare you to speak for me, and *again* the rest of the subscribers? There is nothing to apologize for when I am *helping* someone by giving them useful information. You can apologize for your own presumptous behavior instead. > is main goal on this list seems to be pointing out when people are wrong, > over the smallest details. Certainly I point out when people are wrong. That is how we develop *knowledge*. For that it does not matter of you in your blissful ignorance think that those are “smallest details”, which they are not. The underlying process is called *learning*. You should try it sometime. > His secondary goal is enforcing some imaginary rule about real names, It is not an imaginary rule, it is a social convention that follows from another social convention, simple politeness. When you are seeking the help of people that you do not know, there is a principle of basic politeness saying that you should tell them who you are. Especially if those people have already extended you the politeness to tell them who *they* are; like here, when you have read their names already. Politeness is another thing you should try sometime, as I see that, your having no valid argument at all, you like to throw dirt instead. > Thomas is not typical of the Python community. We are mostly nice people. > :) You do not even know me. I *am* a nice person, if only for the fact that I do not let people suffer from their own ignorance, and I encourage them to educate and enlighten themselves in order not be dependent on people like you who tell them what they should think. So *evidentially*, *you* are not a nice person. According to your own "logic", *you* do not belong in the Python community.
