TBH your link to the public guidelines was not quite a response to the second post, as the second post was talking about *content* and you were talking about *behaviour*. It's perfectly possible to remain entirely within the Code of Conduct, but still not provide enough context for the post; it's also entirely possible to make a post that has all sorts of useful information, but is caustic, rude, racist, sexist, or in any other way violates the CoC. The former is perfectly legitimate content, but will result in an on-topic response asking for more details; the latter might get you banned from the list. That said, though - I don't think Rhodri's response was really necessary here. Calling your post "unrelated" is stretching it a bit, and it wasn't an inconsiderate post, just not quite a direct response. *shrug* ChrisA _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
