No need to take it back, as a long time python-* list reader I only took your initial post as thinking out loud.

List readers can spot similar threads in the future by looking for these three indicators:

  1. Behavioral function arguments are discouraged and mostly on your say-so.

  2. You didn't top post, so it wasn't a pronouncement.

  3. Long time readers were sure enough of #1 and #2 that no one added a "GOOD GOD NO" reply

top-posting-ly,
