And that one (completely accurate) sentence is really the core of virtually all of your troubles, isn't it? Usually, as people mature, they learn by experience that their communications are accepted more easily if they are presented with calm and courtesy. This is neither good nor bad, nor is it a conspiracy. It is simple human nature. If you want your words to be heard, you cannot continue to ignore human nature. You might not LIKE reining in your vitriol, and being pleasant to the unwashed ignorant masses, but that's what it takes. If you don't CARE whether anyone reads your words, then please feel free to continue with your current behaviors. -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
