My apologies, then, I thought you were making a nationalist remark. I'll agree that people in general are lazy. ;-) Getting overly sensitive, I guess: Once your country goes and violates international conventions and UN sanctions, invades foreign countries who haven't attacked it, and starts taking political prisoners, spies on its own citizens, punishes dissent against the ruling party, and starts torturing people, everybody thinks they have a right to criticize you on every nitpicking little thing! I wish I was kidding about all of that. -- Terry Hancock ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Anansi Spaceworks http://www.AnansiSpaceworks.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
