[Tutor] How to post: Was Re: The Charms of Gmail

[Danny Yoo]

Hi Emile,

Can we cut this thread off for a while?  I know it's interesting to
talk about the proper way of posting and composing mails: it's
something of a meta-topic, and therefore can attract a lot of
discussion due to it's self-feeding nature.

But it seems somewhat tangent to learning how to program in Python.

For all the discussion about the proper rules to post and comment,
we're focusing on the letter of the law.  But the spirit of the word
needs to be given some respect as well: we're all here to help and
learn and teach programming.

Anything that's separate from that is fine---humans should be free to
talk to humans!---but we should be careful not to distract from the
goal of tutoring.  This thread, in my mind, is a distraction.

Thanks.
