What about our frustration that this thread has become so overwhelmingly his support group? It's not like there isn't a list where he could post absolute beginner questions:

http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Although I'm pretty sure their first response would be "read the docs / play with the interpreter", neither of which he's shown any desire to do.

Tried that. He posts them back here.

Alternatively, I'd ask that if you're so willing to deal with him, that the *two of you* take this show offlist instead? I'm genuinely curious as to whether he'd agree to this: given his propensity for changing his mail headers so regularly, the whole thing still screams performance troll. (I mean, seriously, how many days elapsed between his being burned by Chris Angelo and him offering to give you access to his server? Isn't refusing to budge from a position the defining characteristic of a ferrous cranus?)
