I much rather stand corrected than to silently remain ignorant. I take revision of my solution for all it's worth but to be belittled without correction is arrogant and unnecessary. I've been working with Python for several months now and I feel I know plenty *but* I am still learning. I personally never had to clear a list. I never thought of Roberts answer and my reasoning is in Roberts message. In the end I stood correct because Robert was nice enough to answer two birds with one stone. Fredrik on the other hand had nothing positive to add and his message seemed gestapo. Where I come from and how I grew up is quite simple. A wrong answer is better than no answer and a worthless remark is worth garbage. Why? Because no right answer is gospel and no answer no matter how dumb is cause for discourtesy. I tried and thats the bottom line. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
