We all do from time to time. Funny. I feel exactly that way about Glenn's message. It was uncalled for: unnecessary, unhelpful, irrelevant, and impertinent. Perhaps he was having a bad day. Wrt my language, which you quoted: I simply echoed his language. As to the substance - the rest of my reply, I simply explained why I sent that particular bug report, even though no such explanation should be necessary. There was no need to reply to the report as Glenn did. His reply did not advance anything; it was merely sarcasm and provocation. If it's not helpful to send doc-string bug reports then I'll take Glenn's advice and save myself the trouble. In that case, his message to not bother will have served some purpose.
