"I'm not good, I'm not nice, I'm just right." That was written by Stephen Sondheim and it's from his musical Into The Woods. It's said by the witch. That used to be my sig back in usenet days, and more then one person said "Who said that? Rush Limbaugh?" > I can see that you are knowledgeable, and I really appreciate the energy > you put into answering questions.

As my wife once said, "If you start with 'Listen, asshole, ...' they probably won't hear what you have to say after that. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
