The subject line was copied from the description of comp.lang.python aka python-list@python.org. I am very disappointed to see so much energy and bandwidth going to conversations that bash individuals. Is there a moderator for this list? Is there some other place for discussions that are completely OT and also full of flames? Or would you be willing to stop the bashing? I don't see that it helps anyone, and could be very offputting to other newbies. I hope and pray that there will be a few simple answers. The last thing I want is to start another flame war. Thanks for hearing me. -- Bob Gailer 919-636-4239 Chapel Hill NC
