RE: An I connected here?
Thanks for the verification. I received my original message back and that also shows success in my attempt. The first message had no such copy back so it went off somewhere... Thanks for the guidance but I always try to make the subject line pertinent and explanatory. It is the selling point to get results. I will repost it later.

And if it's not clear from the subject line that it _is_ something somebody knows/cares about, then that somebody is unlikely to read the body of the message. Subject lines like "help me please" or "Python doesn't work" or "An I connected here" are likely to be ignored by most of the people who probably know how to help. There are a few kind souls who make a habit of reading those, dog bless em. [I'm not one of them, I only read this by accident.] That said, there is definitely less traffic these days. I assume it's a continuation the gradual abandonment of usenet/email in favor of various almost-entirely-useless web "forums". -- Grant -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

An I connected here?
Sorry folks, I really messed that one up. I tried to doctor up a reply to get the address correct but failed to delete enough to own the message... My message did not have anything to do with the "Fake News Detect" subject. I posted a request for assistance about a week ago, no response. I also see very little traffic here, less than there used to be. Has something gone wrong with my set up? My goof, sorry about that. Footnote: There's 99 bugs in the code, in the code. 99 bugs in the code. Take one down and patch it all around. Now there's 117 bugs in the code. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
