If you ignore such posts, how will the poster know they are unacceptable? How should somebody distinguish between "I am being shunned for acting like a dick", and "I have not received any responses because nobody has anything to add"? If I believe that your behaviour ("giving lousy advice") is causing great harm to this community, and *I don't say anything*, how will you know to change your behaviour? How will others know that I do not agree with your advice? -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
