"Auto-response for your message to the "Tutor" mailing list Python/tutor@python.org x tutor-boun...@python.org 8:34 PM (21 hours ago) to me Your message for tutor@python.org, the Python programming tutor list, has been received and is being delivered. This automated response is sent to those of you new to the Tutor list, to point out a few resources that can help with answering your own questions, or improve the chances of getting a useful answer from the other subscribers. [...]" This is the beginning of exactly the same message I received when I first joined this mailing list. Honestly, newbie or not, I do not understand why many of the posts from newcomers so routinely violate the contents of this welcome message. I know I am trying to abide by them. Laziness? Difficulties with English comprehension? Sheer stubbornness? Or something more innocent? I have no clue. But fellow newbies: Please (!!!) read the contents of the welcome message. It spells out in great detail the expectations for posting here and might help you get your questions answered much more quickly and efficiently!
