Some days I feel the same way. I've described Python as a filter where only the best get through. That's leads to a concentration of talent and good taste which has great value and can even eclipse any shortcomings in the flawed tool that initially drew the crowd together. This is from a paper I started a long time ago, entitled "The Value of Bad Design". I never finished it but I do think it might be valid. John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
