Hardly original I know, but this crap is getting up my nose. I would much rather read the Timbot discussing things which mention the best operating system in the world, i.e. VMS, which for the uninitiated stands for Very Much Safer.

Nick, There is about as much chance of hell freezing over as there is of England beating Australia in the cricket this summer. [I'am a half-caste, English father, Welsh mother. Makes it worse when you are watching rugby :)] To get back to Ilias, people on c.l.py have already pointed out that he has been banned from other mailing lists, responds to 99% of assistance with "not relevant", "off topic", or some similar garbage, and obviously has no intention of actually delivering anything to anybody. See c.l.clipper.visual-objects amognst other ngs for their opinion on this megastar. Me, I use Python to write simple programs to suit my own needs. I have never in the last three/four years needed to ask a question because the documentation provided is perfectly adequate for me, failing which Google this ng for an answer. Ilias, If you can't stand the heat, get out of the server room. Kindest regards. Mark Lawrence. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
