you are not being helpful or answer the question..
What DL Neil seems to be getting at is that there's been an uptick in
questions
1) where we don't know who you (and several other recent posters) are:
- The pyc.ode domain-name of your email address isn't a
real/registered domain
- there doesn't seem to be much evidence of you being part of the
Python community with a history of other messages
+other consideration regarding the best use of mail-lists and respecting
people's time.
For reference: an attempt to contact the OP directly, in a bid to refine
his questions/assist the production of answers (perhaps), failed - due
to the problem mentioned, ie one of his/her own making!
Neither factor inspires much confidence.
2) you (and others) are asking to be spoonfed example code that could
cause problems on the internet.
...
So I suspect DL Neil was raising awareness to make sure that anybody
who *did* answer your questions might take the time to think about
the potential consequences of the actions. So DL *is* being helpful,
but rather to the community, even if not necessarily to you in
particular....
Thanks @tkc. Yes!
Given that the OP may have legitimate (and legal) reasons for the
question, I was reluctant to express direct criticism (which,
ironically-enough) is contrary to 'open' etc behavior.
Previous to this, had discussed such concerns with a ListAdmin, who is
taking it further. I hope we'll (soon) see something further from the
Python-/List-gods...
As a student of irony, I was amused at being told that I wasn't
answering questions - by someone who didn't even acknowledge, and
certainly didn't attempt to address, concerns raised. Colors += mast?
