Definitely troll, and we got well and truly had. Shame on us -- he practically *screamed* "I am a troll" in his user-name. "Ferrous Cranus" ("Iron Skull") is the name of a particular subspecies of troll in Mike Reed's well known compendium: http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/ferouscranus.htm How many days was he posting here, pretending to be dumber than a box of hammers? How many hours have we collectively wasted, reading and replying to his posts? I wouldn't even trust that he is Greek. Quite likely he uses a non- English attribution line to hint that English is not his first language, so his victims will think that there is a language barrier. "Maybe he doesn't understand me. If I answer again, in a slightly different way, perhaps it will be more clear." -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
