I'm usually pretty quiet on this list. That's what I find is the best way to participate. However, I'm going to have to speak up and point out that that response is exactly the type of comment and/or reasoning that everyone here is trying to explain to you. The resources are available for you to educate yourself. Semantic arguments such as this are, at best, at a junior high level. You are completely free to ask any question (about Python) you want here -- just don't argue with the people giving you the answers. And, to address the actual content of that response: nobody, online or off, in newsgroups or on mailing lists, likes a nitpick. So, please, quit. I'd prefer you didn't leave and, instead, decided to actually, actively get along with the others here. I think some of the question you've begun threads with have been both good and valid. It's just that you need some work on your e-people skills, man.
