Nice one :-) http://lmgtfy.com/ BTW: Rather than actually ban Anatoly from the various mailing lists, I think setting his moderation flag would be a better approach. He'd get a note that his emails are being held for moderation and the moderators could then screen the emails for possibly problems. This would likely mean more work for the moderators and thus we'd need more moderators. Should be a fixable, though. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Nov 29 2013) >>> Python Projects, Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope/Plone.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::::: Try our mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
