Yes, I was serious, but maybe I should have used some ‘honey’. When I started posting questions here I was pleasantly surprised with the very helpful responses, but lately I must say I see ‘answers’ that are not only unhelpful, but potentially chasing people away. As I explained in another post. Maybe I am not very smart, but what is ungracious in pointing out that in the reply on something I shared I think could be useful, the ‘solution’ does something else as what I shared? -- Cecil Westerhof Senior Software Engineer LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/cecilwesterhof -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
