That was my point. I was being sarcastic again but I didn't put a warning anymore. As I'm doing now, still posting at the bottom of a long posting. I'm not sure whether you were attacking me too (am I the "little mind"?) or supporting me, Fuzzy. Anyway, I think that Mike Meyer was more annoyed by my jab at US politics than by my top posting. But it was safer for him to pick on the latter. Dan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
