I am trying to help you to understand how people are reacting to your posts. I suggested that saying that the grammar is incorrect or contains an error would have expressed exactly what you intended without triggering hostile reactions, which I'm assuming you don't want.

I'm not aware that I have been attacked or that I have retaliated. (No need to explain why you might think I have.) One more thing: your Usenet or email client probably adds an attribution line above any quoted text. I urge you to leave it in place. It makes the discussion easier to follow, especially for those of us who read the comp.lang.python Usenet newsgroup rather than the mailing list. I do not intend to reply further. -- Keith Thompson (The_Other_Keith) Keith.S.Thompson+u@gmail.com void Void(void) { Void(); } /* The recursive call of the void */
