Last time when I commented on "harsh" notices sent in reply to
inappropriate requests to python-dev, I couldn't find an example.
Neal provided a mild one:

> You should try asking on the comp.lang.python newsgroup

> appropriate for python-dev.

Maybe it would have been more friendly to say "Sorry, there's nobody
here on python-dev who can help you with that; maybe you'll have more
luck on comp.lang.python."

(For these kind of requests, I expect SF won't help much.)
