What are your thoughts?
Paul, When I asked you to do this, it was just a rhetorical way to tell you that I didn't intend to play this game. It's plain as day you're trying to get me to admit something. I'm not falling for it. If you have a point to make, why don't you just make it? -- CARL BANKS -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
