I will not try and stop helping others because you don't like my answers. I found a perfectly good way how not to do something that wasn't exactly wrong anyway. if you can take another persons honest attempt to help someone and twist it into something it is not, I can only suggest you look in the mirror and only if you're truly perfect you continue your banter.
by the way, I am not here to promote Python. but if this is of your concern, perhaps maybe you should rethink how you respond in kind towards post you do not exactly agree with. Others are reading this and it might not come off as promotional material. Also, if you're having a bad day, take a rest and relax. You just might deserve it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
