YBM: I'm going to politely ask you again to please stop. 1) Don't answer off-topic questions here. It only encourages more off-topic questions. 2) Don't be abusive. http://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/ 3) Lastly, your abuse is in the form of a (rhetorical) question, which is likely to simply cause another answer, which we don't want. Thanks, please do what you can to make this community the kind that you want. --Ned. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
