Your constant and repeated accusations that any questioning of you is deliberate lying and innuendo (innuendo of what, I wonder?) is getting tiresome. You did this to me, accusing me of deliberate lying, and now you're doing the same to Steve. Just because people question the (alleged) facts as you report it doesn't mean they're deliberately trying to mislead others. Hasn't it occurred to you that perhaps we're not deliberately lying to make you look bad but actually think you are mistaken? A difference of opinion is not evidence that people are lying. For somebody who fancies himself a writer teaching beginners to programming, your communication skills leave something to be desired. I hope your book is better than your posts, because from what I have seen your writing in this newsgroup is frequently sloppy and hard to understand, you tend to use terms in non-standard ways and then take any misunderstandings as a personal affront, and if anyone questions what you say, you're likely bristle and start looking for a fight. I don't know what your problem is, but I wish you'd deal with it in private and stop dumping it on the rest of us. You're a smart fellow who brings much of value to the community, but dealing with your posts is becoming more trouble than they're worth. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
