+other consideration regarding the best use of mail-lists and respecting 
people's time.

For reference: an attempt to contact the OP directly, in a bid to refine 
his questions/assist the production of answers (perhaps), failed - due 
to the problem mentioned, ie one of his/her own making!

Thanks @tkc. Yes!

Given that the OP may have legitimate (and legal) reasons for the 
question, I was reluctant to express direct criticism (which, 
ironically-enough) is contrary to 'open' etc behavior.

Previous to this, had discussed such concerns with a ListAdmin, who is 
taking it further. I hope we'll (soon) see something further from the 
Python-/List-gods...


As a student of irony, I was amused at being told that I wasn't 
answering questions - by someone who didn't even acknowledge, and 
certainly didn't attempt to address, concerns raised. Colors += mast?
