I disagree. To me, the sentence with "was" gives the impression that it just simply happened. The sentence with "has been" seems more official and assured, indicating that the action was purposefully taken. I agree that it is nitpicking, but I much prefer "has been" over "was." - Kevin _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers
