So that's where Guido's been hiding his infamous time machine! Right
in plain sight!
It's so obvious in retrospect.

I think you mean:

-- HansM

Taking 1984 into account surely it should be

from __past__ import __future__ as future

But the question is, have we yet got to 1984, are we currently there or
have we already gone past it? Who actually *IS* running the time
machine? Are there any bugs??

Regards.

I hope you just had a bad day. Threatening others for figuring out your
e-mail address is even worse than posting with an illegal e-mail address.

Hi.

Chris Rebert didn't reveal anything not already present in the posting he
replied to, and indeed in the posting I'm replying to here.

The headers in the article I'm replying to (yours) look like this:

One must assume that you were not aware that you're posting your mail address in
plaintext in every article?

Well, at least the one that Chris Rebert quoted,
<mailto:[email protected]_zealand> (in the 'From:' header).

The point is, if he's upset about Chris quoting that, then he's probably unaware
that he's posting it in plaintext himself.

The complaint was not about quoting but about using in public. Chris
sent his piece to three addresses. From his headers, redacted:

Newsgroups: comp.lang.python
To: "Lawrence D'Oliveiro" <[email protected].[REDACTED]>
Cc: (e-mail address removed)

Can we stop importing red herrings now?

Oh, I didn't see that -- it's Bad Practice so I didn't look for it.

No, this is hardly the first time that Lawrence has made such a
wankerific threat:

http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg245012.html


I sympathise, because many years ago I lost an email address, made
unusable by spam, after using it unobfuscated in Usenet. But I think that
the spammers have mostly moved on these days. The pickings are much
richer for hijacking people's address books in Hotmail, Facebook or
Outlook, and the state of the art of anti-spam is better too. So I think
that Lawrence needs to HTFU and stop making empty threats over something
so trivial.
