I generally only delete mine if I've posted to the wrong issue (which happens sometimes if I have multiple issues open and lose track of which tab is which). For other discussions, I figure realising I'd made a mistake on my own isn't that different from someone else replying to point out the error - I'm sure there a few tracker comments floating around from Nick-of-several-hours-later suggesting that Nick-of-several-hours-earlier probably shouldn't be commenting on tracker issues when he's in dire need of sleep ;) Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
