Maybe it's just me but the word "grovelling" just doesn't ring of newbie friendliness. To each their own I guess. Kind of like the Smalltalk list where a few respondents are really dry. Someone will post asking something like "Can I use Smalltalk to do X so that it talks to Y?" One guy (without pointing to a link or offering a snippet) just posts "Yes." I guess literally they have contributed. Or someone calls your house and asks, "Is so-and-so there?" You just say "Yes" and hang up on them :-) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
