Peter? Which Peter? What's "it" that he got right?

You have deleted all context from your post, so I have no idea what you are
talking about.

Right.

And whatever program you are using to post is stripping out
threading information, so I can't tell what post you are replying to.

You're not entirely right here. Santosh's message threads correctly to mine when I look with Thunderbird. And mine is parallel to one by Peter Otten, who suggested rstrip() to get rid of the extra newline. About 10% of your posts show up as top-level (starting new threads), even though I know you're careful. So there seem to be more than one threading protocol, and the multiple protocols are fighting each other. I'd love to see a spec that I could use to (manually?) check whether the threads are right or not.

the relevant timestamps (at least as seen from USA EST zone) are
    Santosh at 4:20 am
       Peter Otten at 4:46 am
       DaveA  at 5:34 am
          Santosh at 9:56 am
    Steven D'Aprano at 7:49 pm

But your message was a reply to Santosh's 9:56 am message.

(I'm deleting the rest, because I'm not responding to the commandline parsing question)
