You win my unofficial contest for "Usenet Tool of the Year." It is not difficult to skip to the next file or to add a sender to a killfile. It is certainly less of a hassle than all this complaining you do. Life is short, John Bokma. There are more important things in the world than tattling on Xah to his host. Maybe you can start experiencing them if you learn to make use of the 'next message' key. >> So Xah will hear them six times?

It would be only one post that could easily be ignored, if not for all this rubbish that you and people like you feel the need to post (sure, I realize I'm contributing to the problem). Isn't "hit & run posting" better than a thread full of nonsense? -- You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is, "Never get involved in a land war in Asia", but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line"! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
