Er, I think you understand, but what you need to do is to make a copy
of the list, and _interate through the copy_ if you want to remove
things from your list.  If you aren't modifying the list in the
loop/function/method/whatever then you don't need a copy.

I think you already got it, but "what you said" != "what you meant". :)
