http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#not_losing In most of the technical computer newsgroups which I frequent, there is a handful of knowledgeable and helpful but irritable regulars, and often one or two saints who contribute usefully, ignore rudeness and almost never post off topic. I find it best to treasure the saints, tolerate the irritable and ignore the whiners. YMMV. -- RGB No saint. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
