Speaking only for myself, what bugs me about most of your questions so far is that you don't seem to do any thinking before you hit Send. For a few of your questions, it would have taken you less time/effort to do a three-word Google search than to ask the list; for this one, this list was probably the right place - but thirty seconds of thought about what you really wanted to ask would have made the difference. If you don't know the technical terms( e.g. "array" versus "list", "dictionary", "tuple"), I for one will not bite your head off for it - as long as you make a good-faith effort to express yourself. Most of us who read and answer questions are going to spend at least a couple of minutes, and some thought, on our reply. If it seems that you spent less than that on your question, it can be irritating. Some of us can be downright cranky, but nobody likes to feel disrespected. Just take a minute and think. -- www.fsrtechnologies.com
