Nobody's used my XP for a malware playground since about 2006. I used to have about a dozen traps and traces that put a stop to all that. Now I only have one, and it hasn't seen hide nor hair of a single trace or sign of malware in the 6 or so years that I've had only that one sentry. Not my problem if people can't use their computers and browse the web sensibly. And I repeat, it's not something I should be continually beat around the head about. So please stop beating me up about it, you fools. Deborah -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
