Now GG is clearly annoying As are kids who ask for homework help without saying so ¿¿Whats the connection?? I should have mentioned/asked: Are you using Google Groups to post? Your post suffers from one of GG's annoyances – long lines. If you are using it then I wonder about the *content* of your complaint If you are not – and the *form* of your post still has a classic-GG nuisance – then it weakens the anti-GG case. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
