same thing. he didn't get the argument, therefore it didn't have the right quality, and therefore it's not very important, and both the argument and the person making it can be ignored. it's a circular argument. and the only way to snap out of it is to start asking yourself "I don't get his argument, but he definitely has a track record; maybe that guy knows something that I don't". </F> _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
