Thanks for speaking up, Zero. I agree that the aggressive language lately has been a bit of a problem; but it's not incurable, and Dwight Hutto seems to have recovered a more affable stance in his more recent posts. (Thank you, Dwight/David.) Etienne, we shall not trouble you for a demonstration of what you think *real* aggressive behaviour is. Really, you've already given us far more than the five-minute argument we paid for; though I suppose you could be arguing on your own time. But I'm sure if you go to the next room, you'll find "being dropped into the killfille lessons". Better, better, but "Plonk". Hold your username here... Wait, is that the wrong Python for this list? Oops. So confusing. ChrisA
