[Actually I wrote the bit above [to a third party], but apparently 
zentrader doesn't feel the need to conform with the norm about quoting 
other people's messages].

I wasn't talking about "webland". I was talking about the 
comp.lang.python newsgroup/python-list mailing list. And please don;t 
complain that you don't have time to establish the norms for each group 
you post to, since it's long been accepted netiquette that you should 
*read* any group you intend to post to for a while, giving you time to 
discover what the accepted norms *are* ... and on c.l.py the norm is 
definitely "avoid top-posting".
