Well I don't think there's much chance of that here. Please accept myWarren said:No you didn't. Your original post was a reply to a message whose subject
line was 'Re: "is" and ==', and included the header

You're right, thanks.
I think the fundamental mistake you have made is to convince yourself that
c[:]()
is legal Python. It isn't, it never has been.
In my opinion, it is better to ask me directly what I think than to assume
what I am thinking. Describing a situation in second person -- using "you"
-- tends to have more interpretation than fact. When the interpretation is
wrong, the person who is at the receiving end of that "you" may be compelled
to reply. Sometimes that correction includes another "you"; interpretation
spawns interpretation -- soon, facts are replaced by projectiles.
apologies if I misunderstood you.
Well clearly I'd rather you were responsible for the miscommunicationProbably best not to try to help them too, if this is the response.In summation:
I started this thread asking why c[:]() wouldn't work
I did not hijack another thread
I posted working examples (with one typo, not quoted here)
I am extremely annoyed by this post
Tis best not to assume what other people are thinking
I do appreciate your help. Responding on topic helps. Negative feedback
regarding typos helps. And, your statement:
> Perhaps you didn't express yourself too clearly.
makes me feel all warm and fuzzy like ... why thank you!
than I, but I don't *have* to be right about everything. And mostly I
try to help.
Sorry to have annoyed you. I don't always get up people's noses. Glad myAgreed. Fortunately, others got the gist of what I was saying.
Oddly enough, as annoying as it was, your post helped my form, while other
posters have helped my content. I bet you'd make a good editor.
Cheers,

remarks were of at least *some* assistance.
