Just to make it clear:
1. I have no objection to the python list culture.
As I said I tend to follow it in places where it is not the norm and get
chided for it
[For the record on other groups which are exclusively GG/gmail based Ive been
told that because I am geek/nerd I do it in a strange way]
2. Nor to people getting irritated with others not following it and telling
them off
What I am pointing out is that if one gets so besotted with irritation as to
lose coherence, its unlikely that any useful communication will ensue.
