And yet your earlier angry, aggressive reply to Robert Kern was not very respectful, don't you think? Your assumption that Robert is wrapped up in an "academic cocoon" was uncalled for, and viciously aggressive pacifism like you have displayed is almost as bad as aggressive flaming, and far worse than Robert's self-depreciating humour. In any case, I don't agree with you that all people deserve the same amount of respect. Respect is rare currency, and has to be earned, not just given away to anyone. -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
