I started the "Benefit and belief" sub-thread, changing the subject line from "suggested coding style", and included a [OT] tag. So there was no earlier message of that subject without a tag to reply to. You know, I suspect this thread is a good example of chaos theory in action... for something that started off about coding styles, it has ended up in some fairly strange places... > Despite the term, a newsgroup thread is not a linear structure, > it's a tree.

If your mail or news client has a threaded view, you can see for yourself who removed the tag. I was just being polite by not singling him out by name :) -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
