It's really sad to see folks like DFS hop on the list with apparent
enthusiasm for Python and an excitement to learn, only to resort to name
calling and walk away in a huff when folks ask them not to speak that
way around here.  I'm not sure why this is.  I recall that the same
thing happened not so long ago with another poster I recall.  Overall I
think list members are pretty patient with newbies.
