Linda, from what I can tell, the tone in this discussion thread changed from the "professional", "technical" mode with this statement: > Please, no demeaning statements like "you forgot a parenthesis" or > "you > were using someone else's code" - just the lines of code for a file > that > actually *works.* The folks on this list are a very friendly and helpful bunch, and I think some of them did not take well to your implying that they were demeaning to you. You might not have meant it to be accusatory, but it certainly seems to have been interpreted that way. Further appeals to a non-existent "moderator" and typing in ALL CAPS only fanned the flames, and so I think perhaps it would be good if folks just stepped back from the keyboard a bit and took some deep breaths. Also, Linda, I would like to stress that although this mailing list is an open, unmoderated forum for technical discussion, even the veterans don't go about making proclamations about what people should and should not post... I think if you stick to asking technical questions, people will respond in kind. -Peter _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
