Oh please Steve. Did you read Xah's post or stop after the second paragraph? It was amazingly *non* vituperative, and I don't just mean "for Xah". I only counted two uses of the f-word and one of the a-word, none of which I personally would object to (we're grown-ups, naughty words shouldn't shock us). The only things which were even *close* to a vituperative rant were a short comment about Brian Harvey being unhappy with Scheme 6, and that Sun Microsystems use inferior versions of shell tools. Maybe half a dozen lines expressing strong opinions, out of a 300 line post. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
