I have noticed that you do not always quote what you are talking about.
Sometimes I can guess or look at another message and see what you
are talking about, but not always. This list philosophy seems to be
 "quote what is relevant and trim what is not". Not on a
"go lookup the previous message to find context".

Context is not the same as explaining absolutely everything.
It means that I, the reader, can see *what* you are talking about 
and what you are responding *to*. 

I do agree with the stance not to spoon feed OP(s).

I was not aware that Windows users were "usually" referred anywhere.
Most referrals are on a case-by-case basis as many problems or 
questions from Windows Python developers are Python questions and
not specific to pywin.

Nobody is claiming you are not helpful. I appreciate your effort,
I just do not always know what is going on in a thread especially 
if I see the thread jump to something I can contribute to but now have 
no context with which to help. Not to mention that the archive for 
this list is searchable. Your answer is much more useful for future 
searchers if you leave some context for someone reading this.

It is in context of the "thread", but the context of the 
"conversation" was lost.
