It's not the typing that's the problem. "The Pragmatic Programmer"[1] covers the DRY (Do Not Repeat yorself) principal at some length, but briefly, the major problem is with maintainability. The danger is that when wne instance of the fiunction name is changed, other won't be, leading to breakage. -- Cheers, Simon B, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.brunningonline.net/simon/blog/ [1] http://pragmaticprogrammer.com/ppbook/extracts/rule_list.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
