I wondered at the tone of some of the replies, re-read the repliess and your original message. On first readings ithought that your original message was OK and that the replies were a bit 'strong' . On second reading I thought that the original could be interpreted a little less nicely, but I had to go looking.
Please don't be put off using this news group. I guesss we all have to be extra careful about tone when no one can see your facial expressions :-) - Pad. P.S. I was having problems with the Google server - sorry if this is replicated. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
