I'm aware of that, although sometimes the posts seem coherent enough that I think maybe it's not. Especially the ones where it posts almost-working code snippets, complete with obvious typos. Then it posts a complete non sequitur like the reply to my reply in this thread, and the illusion is shattered. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
