Ok, I read through what got to my nntp server, and I'm still
completely confused.

A class method isn't necessarilry called by an instance. That's why
it's a class method. What should happen in that case?

You provided an example where you passed self as an optional
argument. If it's going to have self, shouldn't it be an instance
method?

I think I agree with Steven - you should use two methods. You deal
with the issue of duplicated code by pulling the code that would be
duplicated out into private methods. This would be a straightforward
refactoring problem.
