In honour of the value of mailing lists in general lets stop this thread since once again the troll pattern repeats ad infinitum.
At least if you want to add to this nonsense, read each of the (several?) dozen entries. 1. a seemingly earnest question is asked with something to do with python. The question looks like it is from an very anxious novice 2. errors are pointed out in the sloppiness of the code and as an aside, the value of code in general is questioned since it is based on assumptions that are completely muddled, misunderstood 3. people start to laugh and grouse "here we go again" 4. The troll whines back that he asked a good and question and people are being mean to him 5. He draws more people into the thread who feel bad he was maligned. 6. the thread seems to go on with some (faux) value as people probe the the basis of the discussion further 7. The troll, ignores every single bit of useful information provided that doesn't serve his interest in keeping this going by slightly altering the questions, or posing new variants, or raising hair-brain notions. In other words he is not discussion his own question, he is TROLLING to keep the thread alive. 8. Someone notices the cycle is complete. Go back for a year to every question asked by the troll who goes by Nikos or Ferrous, or 2 or three other email address (in the same thread!) and see if any of them don't follow this pattern. If you are new here and think this guy is worth your time, you are wasting everyone's time and memory space or disk space to add to these threads Ok, I won't do it again.
