No, wrong ... or well, obviously ... or uh ... sorry. I've lost track of what we're arguing. If you want to stand behind "everything is a set," I can certainly present a case to the contrary. Is there anything I actually claimed that you are prepared to argue against? Cite me, and I'll defend or retract, or at least re-phrase. I definitely did make specific claims. I'll list them if you want, and I'll listen to evidence against them, should you choose to present any. I expect that neither of us wants to devote our energy to flaming on in violent agreement. -- --Bryan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
