Since you're so open to being corrected, let me remind you to read your posts
before sending. Somehow you managed to introduce an extra > quote marker at
the beginning of your own comment, (the line starting "We were all once...").
Check it out here:

https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2017-December/729112.html

and you will see that your comment is quoted, as if it were written by the
person you are replying to.

(Normally I wouldn't bother mentioning something so trivial, but since you
make the excellent point that we don't learn to correct mistakes unless we
have them pointed out, I thought I'd do so.)


> I'd rather not entertain such or refrain from condescending replies

I think you have misunderstood the word "condescending".

It is condescending to assume that the OP, Jyothiswaroop Reddy, is a fragile
and delicate little hothouse flower that needs protecting from reality where
people will tell you "Don't be so lazy and don't waste our time".

I prefer to expect more of people and let them meet my expectations, than to
downgrade my expectations and coddle them into a spiral of lower and lower
competence and ability.

(By the way Rustom, if you're reading, thank you for that link to the video a
few weeks ago about teaching 2 + 2 = 22. My blood pressure just about doubled
watching it.)
