I said their obligation was to their shareholders. I am only continuing this off-topic thread on newsgroups that probably don't want it because it is a basic principle of fairness that a false or distorted comment deserves an rebuttal anywhere that false or distorted comment appears. However, it doesn't deserve a full debate anywhere except where it's on-topic. DS -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
