[D H] > I think it means you should fuck off, asshole.
Such language looks very inappropriate to me in a public list, and builds a bad and long-lasting prejudice against those resorting to it. Flamers should rather, for their own image, email each other privately on their matters (yet D.H. is not providing his/her email address in the last messages I've seen). Flamers being in the strong need of an audience may easily find special forums for people enjoying flames. As for the Python list, let's keep it the calm and enjoyable place it usually is. Resist the temptation of feeding flames, rather ignore or merely learn to "killfile" the (happily few) abusers we got. Enough said for now! Keep happy, all of you. :-) -- François Pinard http://pinard.progiciels-bpi.ca -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
