I'm told that there are other mailing lists / newsgroups that are far, FAR more hostile than this. Haven't explored though, as I don't feel like torturing myself :) As to the original offensiveness, though: I'm a fundamentalist Christian (not Catholic though), and I water-off-a-duck's-backed the insult. If it's true, it's allowed to be offensive; if it's not true, I can distance myself from it. (In this case, the latter; the inner issues of the Catholic church are unconnected to the core of Christianity.) Chris Angelico -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
