It's a shame, but it looks like I'll have to go back to using the mailing list to read for completeness's sake. :/ Gonna be tricky juggling that for reading and keeping Usenet for writing (so as to not contribute to the information loss), but I'll make do somehow. ~Temia -- When on earth, do as the earthlings do. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
