Sorry. You're right, that was un-called-for. I retract that comment. My main point I still stand by, though. These people are paying good money for a service that probably seems fine, to them. It's probably seemed fine for several years, even. But underneath, the systems admin is constantly breaking stuff and then coming in a panic to an open forum, begging for help, and then giving root access to strangers in the hope that they'll magically fix everything. This is not the sort of service I would pay for, and this is why I do not regret the potential damage to Nikos's revenue. The complaint is equivalent to begging a bank not to put in security cameras, because bank robbers might get less income. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
