What about the etiquette of staying on topic? The only person who is OFFICIALLY allowed to change the subject matter of a thread is the OP. Sure some folks might make an off topic post here and there however i find it bombastically rude when folks just change a topic of thread they do not own. How would you like it if i came to your house and wrote my name on your refrigerator door, or used your toilet without asking, or slept in your bed? I would not do that because i have manners. Feel free to make yourself comfortable but don't put you feet on the coffee table. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
