By the way, why are we acting as if seeking accuracy and truth is a bad thing? Personally, if I were interviewing job applicants, one of the things I'd like to know is how well they react to criticism. This especially applies to technical and programming roles. I've managed thin-skinned prima donnas who spit the dummy if someone dares point out they made a mistake, and so long as I'm involved in the hiring process I won't be doing so again. Give me a pedantic, technically precise, obnoxiously *correct* coder over a sloppy one any time. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
