I understand that this kind of question bother you, and the people of this group, but as I mention in my email, it does also bother people on the stack. (This question will be seen and down-voted as duplicate.)
Since it’s a question about a Google product (Gmail API), the logical way would be to post it in forum own by Google, since users seeking help are under its responsibility. This Google group seems to be the only one talking about Gmail api. The reality is that Google escape from its responsibility by asking users to use stack. But you seem to ignore that G*oogle doesn’t own stack*, and that *stack has not been built to serve as Gmail api discussion**. Stack has its own rules, you can’t ask such question (without losing points). *So asking Gmail API user seeking for help to leave this group might clear your conscience but that’s pretty much all it does.* * Just another example <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/42541857/error-using-gmail-api-tuto-using-python-3-except-errors-httperror-error>: I did struggle with several points from the code Google that causes an error in python 3 (google don't update its code). I wanted to share one of them on a stack, in order to help other users. It cost me some reputation point for those —so I won’t do it again. (I then set my answer as "wiki", to don’t lose more points) ps: By the way if I deleted the question and posted it again in this group it’s because I could not edit it, the topic was not accurate anymore and misleading (Google should probably learn from what other company is doing, like Microsoft On Sat, Mar 4, 2017 at 12:17 AM, 'Alex Martelli' via Google App Engine < google-appengine@googlegroups.com> wrote: > I would recommend you post this code and question to stackoverflow.com -- > a very popular site regularly visited by many programming experts who like > to answer technical questions (me included, when I have free time).
