The direct benefit is a probability of having less spam, and things like that. Registering a nickname is pretty easy and don't bring you problems, so I don't know why you wouldn't want to register one. The benefit of registering your nickname is that other people won't be able to use it to do something not so cool. > If #python were the developer's room, I'd say it's reasonable, > but that's not the case here. Well, a lot of developers hang out there. Some are specifically python developers and others works in other projects. There is a rule of NO LOL there too, by the way. It is intended to be a good channel for answering questions and getting good answers. -- -- Guilherme H. Polo Goncalves -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
