being online makes me write things I would never say in person. For

I was actually thinking that the 25 standard
timezones (which make a reasonable list or
can be easily generated by clicking a map)
could serve as a filter to make the detail

It has been suggested to me off-list that my
response(s) to Bill Mill in the "is this pythonic"
thread were rude and hostile.
If that is what people saw in my posts, then I
