Well, there are reasons to reply to a message stating that it's not on-topic for the group. The most common reaction to receiving no replies is to start a new thread petulantly asking why there were no answers to the original thread. If that one gets no replies the most common reaction is start another new thread stating that Python sucks, the newsgroup sucks, etc.

Not saying that this is what would have happened in this case, but it is the most common sequence of events. Better to head it off before it happens. At least any upset replies tend to be restricted to the one thread ;)

Unfortunately, posting a good response, whilst apparently helpful, tends to encourage further off-topic postings :(
