Really. Well, I had started to reply point by point until it became 
obvious that you are confused about something...

Read the following carefully...

I am *not* arguing for changing the default - whatever gave you that

In fact, I was pointing out to the person that *was* arguing for 
changing it that, since the devs had graciously provided the ability to 
*change* this setting, that the default *did not really matter*.

Are you seriously suggesting that the mere fact that you posted from an 
@python.org address is supposed to mean something to the average list 
participant here? I rarely even look at the original posters address, 
and even if I had noticed it, it wouldn't have meant anything to me 
other than you have an email address @python.org.

That said, if this really was a subtle way for you to intend to be 
speaking from a position of authority, then maybe you should read things 
a little more carefully before you threaten someone on a public list 
from such a position.

Sheesh.
