Sloppy wording, I apologise. This should say: If you find the question you're reading too easy then just don't answer. Noone is the owner of a democratic forum where freedom to ask the question one likes is paramount (as long of course as it is related to the group)...so let me repeat that, to say "Please do us a favour and at least try to figure things out on your own" is in my view inappropriate. To me it sounds "Do me a favur and get lost". Can you not understand that? I accept that it might not have been meant that way but see, misunderstandings happen easily so a more subtle approach is a wothwhile effort. My point: i always encourage people to get down from their ivory towers and to connect to the people...yes they will sometimes be lazy but they are genuine and very respectful (unlike what you think)... no offence now ok, it's not all that serious...open your mind, let lose all that righteousness and let's enjoy life :) Baba -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
