Thank you for the lesson in the virtues of bluntness, and why politeness and political correctness is a vice. Never let it be said that I'm not willing to learn from you Rick, so keeping everything you said in mind, let me say this: It's not INCORRECT English, you small-minded little git. That was the point of my post, which clearly was too difficult for your feeble little thought processes to comprehend. Where do you, an American, get off telling others that their regional variety of English is incorrect? After criticising me for hijacking threads, the hypocrisy and cheek of you doing the same thing with your odious and naive social Darwinism is breathtaking. Sod off and take your despicable little Randian pseudo- philosophy with you. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
