Really. Well, I had started to reply point by point until it became obvious that you are confused about something...
Read the following carefully...
I am *not* arguing for changing the default - whatever gave you that idea?????
In fact, I was pointing out to the person that *was* arguing for changing it that, since the devs had graciously provided the ability to *change* this setting, that the default *did not really matter*.
When I use my @python.org e-mail address (which I very rarely do), I speak from a position of a certain amount of authority on the subject.
Are you seriously suggesting that the mere fact that you posted from an @python.org address is supposed to mean something to the average list participant here? I rarely even look at the original posters address, and even if I had noticed it, it wouldn't have meant anything to me other than you have an email address @python.org.
That said, if this really was a subtle way for you to intend to be speaking from a position of authority, then maybe you should read things a little more carefully before you threaten someone on a public list from such a position.
Sheesh.
