"the complainers"??? O:-) Intentional or not, your word choice paints a negative connotation of the "opposition". We are not "complainers", we merely hold a contradictory view to that of the "proposers". Injecting polarity into debates is dangerous, because, then we get off into the emotional weeds and a solution may never be found -- just observe the polarization of American politics if you don't believe me --> *PUKE* Rational people understand that both sides of any argument deserve objective consideration, and when a unanimous solution cannot be found, a compromise must be made on both sides. Even if that means cutting the baby in half. Sorry to pick on you. Everything else you said was very rational and articulate! -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
