He's not wasting my time -- I filter out all posts from Google Groups.
What I do see is all of the responses. Perhaps I should filter out
posts that have googlegroups.com in the References: header...

This very post is a top-post -- not to mention grammar and punctuation issues. Obnoxious? Not usually. But can become when the quantity-multiplier of barely python-related posts swells to a barrage.

Amusing.
It works in hexadecimal too:
numerator = 1
denominator = 0xffe001
shift = int(16 ** 30)
print(hex(int(numerator * shift / denominator)))
