Huh? That's exactly what happens! The UK Health Secretary doesn't need to be a doctor; the Chancellor doesn't need an economics degree, etc. However I do 'drive' as I've been programming for decades. And I can have an opinion about a model of car that I don't normally drive. An opinion which you might well not get from someone who drives that model for a living. -- Bartc -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
