Perhaps it's just bad wordplay from me. I assumed you knew that 'heading' was a misspelt 'heeding' but you playingly used literally heading in your reply. For those who didn't get understand that, though, I offered the correct heeding and then rhyming with soccer ball, I presented myself as the sucker who offered the correct spelling when _it was not needed_. So I didn't think I was heeding a sucker call at any moment, I just wrote that as a pun.

[...] It may be related to cultural differences, who knows. Some people are sensible to rude behaviour or language, while others just do not notice: I might guess they grew and learned to live in such environments. As seen from here, the Python mailing list quality has been degrading significantly for the last half-year or so. It is a bit unavoidable as Python gains popularity and attracts people of all obediences. One helping attitude, for everybody, would be to remember that we have readers from everywhere on this planet, and that softness and politeness is probably a good common denominator for people to be happy on the average. If you happen to live in a harsh country, best is to become conscious of the difference, and try to respect others. Do you remember those years when Tim Peters was our effective softening device? The list was then one of the nicest place one can be. After a few polite replies, abusive people were generally ignored by all members, and even institutional flamers were getting discouraged by the lack of fuel, eventually leaving for elswehere.

I've been MIA 4 years, and the only difference I can see between now and four years ago is that Tim, Guido, Barry a couple of others aren't here or don't participate very much.

rudeness was: Python licence again
Laszlo, Is it something like 'center' or 'color' for Americans and 'centre' or 'colour' for British people? Yes, exactly. (Sorry to be offtopic) No need to apologize. I started to read the postings on this list and was dismayed at the depth of rudeness on here. I thought that pythonistas might be a little more patient/tolerant. I guess I was wrong. I understood exactly what you wanted to say, I just didn't have an answer. I did find it amusing that the person who incorrectly corrected you, was in fact, incorrect. I wonder, how many others out there find that the documentation and references materials seem to be written for someone that already knows the answer, but are indecipherable, at times, for those that don't know the answer. thanks, Michael ___ The information contained in this message and any attachment may be proprietary, confidential, and privileged or subject to the work product doctrine and thus protected from disclosure.

I tried to Google for Python Licence and Python Licencing but I could not find the answer. Is there a place where I can ready about Python licencing? (A FAQ maybe?)

The PSF License uses proper nouns that you will have to change[1]. When you are done, it will no longer be the PSF License. It is my opinion that this kind of variant proliferation is a nuisance.
