Right. The biggest weakness in the scientific method is that it doesn't explain how to come up with theories. You need luck, genius, or both. The same applies to language naming. There's no theory of good language names (except for a short list of don'ts); you have to attempt it and see what happens. -- Neil Cerutti -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
