YBM: I'm going to politely ask you again to please stop.

1) Don't answer off-topic questions here.  It only encourages more off-topic questions.

2) Don't be abusive.  http://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/

3) Lastly, your abuse is in the form of a (rhetorical) question, which is likely to simply cause another answer, which we don't want.

Thanks, please do what you can to make this community the kind that you want.

--Ned.
