Yes, i did go too far here, and for that, i do humbly apologize to Steven and all the members of this group. There is no excuse for aggressive, or fowl language here. Steven has a bad habit of playing devils advocate, and he has on many occasions, made contradictory statements. When he does this, it angers me, because i know he's too intelligent to do these things by accident. In fact, all the members of this group are highly intelligent, and that is why i censor my language when I post here. When i am posting in other groups, groups which have set the "intelligence bar" far lower, i don't censor my words at all, because ignorant people don't deserve any decency from me. Intelligence is a rarity in this world, and much less so in many of the Usenet groups out there. Most of which seem to be nothing more than arenas for personal attacks, fowl language, and a contest to see who has the *LEAST* amount of intelligence. Very sad. I come here not only because of Python, but to engage my equals in civil discourse, and to soak up the vast amounts of general knowledge that are shared generously on a daily basis. Python-list an an oasis of intelligence in a sea of ignorance. And as such, demands that we maintain a high level of decency and mutual respect in our posts. I don't always agree with everyone here, and i may never agree with some, but I will always carry a deep respect for each and every member of this fine group. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
