And please don;t complain that you don't have time to establish the norms for each group you post to, since it's long been accepted netiquette that you should *read* any group you intend to post to for a while, giving you time to discover what the accepted norms *are* ... and on c.l.py the norm is definitely "avoid top-posting". regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC/Ltd http://www.holdenweb.com Skype: holdenweb http://del.icio.us/steve.holden --------------- Asciimercial ------------------ Get on the web: Blog, lens and tag the Internet Many services currently offer free registration ----------- Thank You for Reading ------------- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
