I keep saying them because people like you keep saying (in
effect) that there is no difference in clients (in terms
of usability, convenience, setup effort and other factors
that vary on a person-by-person basis.)  I even wrote that 
above, right in the post you're replying to:
 
  >> no, other clients do not "have all the same benefits"

and yet you respond that other "posting methods work just fine"
Again, that may be true for you and your definition of "fine", 
and maybe even for many people but it is not true for everyone,

As you say, all this has been said before and if you need to 
refresh your memory, please see the list archives, the thread, 
"Simple Question regarding running .py program" around nov 14.

No, that's not what you were "just" informing people of...
you were also informing us that we are "twits" for finding 
Google Groups fits our needs better than some other clients.
