Surely the point of such an obvious obfuscation is that humans can de-obfuscate is easily. The fact that it was then used in an open newsgroup communication is just part of the shit that happens every day. Complaining to Chris's ISP is unlikely to be anything other than a waste of time. Drawing attention to it the way Lawrence did is much more likely to draw attention to it that simply gracefully letting it pass. Lawrence, if you are so worried perhaps you should consider not using e-mail any more. It's clearly too dangerous to suit you. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 See PyCon Talks from Atlanta 2010 http://pycon.blip.tv/ Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/ UPCOMING EVENTS: http://holdenweb.eventbrite.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
