If the Java or PHP question is generic enough and on a topic that is applicable to Python as well, it could be something worth answering. For example - if there is a question on multithreading in Java, I would answer it here since the Python threading module has a lot of similarity with Java. However, if the question is like "Which class in Java to use for byte stream input" then I would politely redirect him to a Java forum. After 12+ years of working in a wide number of programming languages from C to Java to Python to PHP and Perl, I keep a very open mind on this topic. This is a Python forum, but languages are inter-related and there is a lot to share and learn. We are not a Python "fan" forum IMHO but learned folks who chose to mostly center their discussions on Python and related topics. That shouldn't exclude related discussions in other languages, if there is an overlap with aspects of Python. I am sure this list is subscribed by a number of folks whose day job would be coding in languages other than Python. With respect to JOB posting, my only requirement is that the subject list contain [JOB] and it is somewhat relevant. I don't care if it is the first post of the member or 100th post. - sree > _______________________________________________ > BangPypers mailing list > BangPypers@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers > -- --Anand _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
