So Ben,Antoon you are saying that Nikos is a minor problem -- spam-like -- Whereas people answering him are a bigger problem??! I find this real confused!! Why they are answering then?!?! As far as I can make out everyone who is answering (helping!) doing it frustratation and disgust. But still they keep answering and answering!! Makes no sense [Sorry -- old programmer (C,C++ etc) -- new to python. If there is some secret to this list's culture that I missed will be pleased to be educated! ] --=20 - Ravi
