Actually, I do agree that profanity "should" be avoided on c.l.py; what I disagree with rather vociferously is having language police like Beliavsky. I consider Beliavsky's offense far worse than the original post. -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "In many ways, it's a dull language, borrowing solid old concepts from many other languages & styles: boring syntax, unsurprising semantics, few automatic coercions, etc etc. But that's one of the things I like about it." --Tim Peters on Python, 16 Sep 1993 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
