You write as if that's a bad thing. ;-) I consider that I often make the largest contribution to this list by reading more posts and stifling the impulse to reply to any of them. :-) YMMV, of course. > Can I make a plea that posters to this (and other) lists do not > introduce acronyms, abbreviations or jargon that are not commonly > used Python terminology I don't see why this would apply to examples such as "DSL". If you don't know what "DSL" means from context, you're probably not interested in that example in the first place. On the other hand, if the jargon in question is Python-specific (and that is usually apparent from context), maybe spending the time to look it up and then read the language manual or the stdlib manual is worthwhile. I can say it always has been for me, YMMV, as usual.
