Remarkably, and because of the special nature of this newsgroup, Ron is right: "something even a little better" would be respectfully accepted, in spite of the incredibly anti-social nature of nearly all of Xah' past postings here. In the (unlikely, IMHO) event that Xah can change, and wants to submit something "even a little better", here are a few suggestions: 1. Use a spell checker. 2. Use a grammar checker. Many people can get away without this tool, but pretty clearly Xah cannot. 3. Realize that posting partial improvements to this newsgroup will not really help anyone, unless you are explicitly soliciting feedback on the wording or structure with the intent of submitting the changes via the proper channels at a later time. 4. Clean up all loose ends, including removing comments of the sort "to be rewritten later", and "still needs work" and such. Somebody has to do the work; if you leave it undone, the changes are unlikely to be accepted. -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
