We've been through this a number of times on c.l.py.

"What is this trash - I want list.join(sep)!"

After some head banging (often quite violent - ie, 4 or 5 
exchanges), they get that list.join(sep) sucks. But they still 
swear they'll never use sep.join(list).

So you end up saying "Well, string.join still works".

We'll need a pre-emptive FAQ entry with the link bound to a 
key stroke. Or a big increase in the PSU budget...
