But it is a place where John Bokma can engage in a little power play. Notice how John Bokma pretends to own these newsgroups. In every analogy, Bokma uses "ownership" concepts to support his harassment of Xah. John Bokma conceptualizes these newsgroups as something that he dominates. Without other people to recognize his power, it's empty, so he bashes and then trashes Xah, and in doing so, proves that he is dominant here. Don't let it happen. Write the abuse address at Dreamhost, and try to help Xah out. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
