Not the same one. Or there are missing posts on my provider's usenet 
service.

Fredrik may have been a bit harsh, but the fact is that vbgunz's 
solution for clearing a list *is* the dumbest possible - and it should 
be obvious for anyone past CS101. Now since a lot of Python newbies read 
this newsgroup, uncorrected bad answers are far worse than no answer at all.

Fredrik - aka the effbot - is a Python expert, and a major contributor 
here. He's known to be usually very helpful, even for questions that are 
in the Fine Manual or in the FAQs. I'm afraid you can say so. You may 
not like the way he corrected vbgunz - and I'll wholefully agree on this 
- but this last sentence is total bullshit.
