OK, oops, I'll take the tinyurl link down anywhere I can; I really didn't (and still don't) quite get the server side issue but so be it. (I thought it was a measure to ensure a license to view, which is not in fact required in this case.) On the other hand, given the modest reaction to the article (pro or con) I am not getting the sense that it has generated a lot of traffic. I'd prefer flames about the content, though. mt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
