My own experience is that the main Python group is remarkably mature and uninfested with script-kiddies and so on. I wouldn't say there are never spats, but even those tend to be remarkably controlled, and often informative (in a heated kind of way). By all means stick to the UK list, but you might want to dip your toe in the waters of the main list just to see... | Are there any event's 'ooop north'? There was talk of one recently, can't remember where, in addition to the usual Oxford one. (Which I've never managed to get to!) Does this mean you're based up there (says the Londoner). 'Cos we seem to be going through a phase of regular meetups in London at the moment, ie getting together in a pub along with various other interested parties. You might want to come along... or organise a northern equivalent! TJG ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
