For me, the original post ended in my spam box, which means my filter is
doing it's job, but when you re-post it, my filter did not regard it as
spam.  I actually wish it had.  Therefore you are an enabler.

The python list is (also) a Usenet newsgroup.  Usenet is distributed and
therefore there is no central place to filter spam (each usenet host
would have to have its own filter and what one considers spam another
might consider ham)... anyway, that's neither here nor there.  Having my
own filter usually works.

I'm not here to dis you, just to try to help you understand the how/why
regarding the re-post and why your attitude about it might give the
impression of apathy toward your peer community.
