I like kill too. It's like the difference between "self" and "this"; self is the personification and anthropomorphic form, and this is the object form. I like self more. I like metaphors. And putting science fiction and theatric effect aside, I can't imagine any future where killing processes is at all related to killing people, so I don't think it can be taken too seriously. -- Ian Bicking | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://blog.ianbicking.org _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
