You want to avoid this one becomes of >comparable length? Not necessarily. I just thought it might help in making new discussions of previously discussed ideas clearer faster ;-) Sometimes rehashing old topics seems just tedious, but sometimes someone has a hunch that they are struggling to express, and they haven't yet succeeded in communicating its essence. Then old discussions can sometimes serve like first drafts of a speech, and revisions can prevent repeat of misunderstandings that in the archived discussions one can see were inevitable. If the nascent idea comes out viable, we all benefit, and the tedium will have been worth it. If not, well, then at least some ideas will have clearer form, and the whole process will have been a social event that some will have enjoyed anyway ;-) Regards, Bengt Richter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
