Feel free to post here... you will be limiting your responses
to a very small subset of the potential responses you'd get
if you used the darn mailing list, but nobody is forcing you
to use the mailing list.  By all means post here.  Just don't
complain if you get few or no responses.

With good reason.  I'd be surprised if he sends it again, for
you, however, after your incredible rudeness to someone trying
to help.

See above.  This newsgroup is very general and does handle questions
on the entire range of Python topics, but for certain things the
*best* advice you'll get here is to check the specific mailing list
for the package you are using.  Whether it's Zope, wxPython, Twisted,
or yes, even PyGame, you'll do much better with the mailing list.

But *nobody is forcing you to subscribe*, just providing helpful
advice in a friendly manner.  You were, IMHO, way out of line in
your reaction to Terry's well-meaning suggestion.
