Chris, I apologize for Thomas.  His main goal on this list seems to be
pointing out when people are wrong, over the smallest details.  His
secondary goal is enforcing some imaginary rule about real names, though
he couldn't be bothered to read your post thoroughly enough to discover yours.

Thomas is not typical of the Python community. We are mostly nice people. :)
