Actually, as far as I know, my posting was made before your previous
response, so your response had no bearing on the content of my message. As
such,  your surprise is surprising to me ;)

It's not possible to tell from the original poster message (see below)
whether they were using the tutorial I suggested, they did however ask for
"a good explanation of this subject esp in the context of Python". My
suggestion matched this criteria, IMHO. As far as having identical
terminology, well, other than 'cargo', all of the other terms are quite
common, AFAIK, when discussing linked-lists.
