<OT> Unlike gregarican, I mostly agree with the content of your post. Except for your subject line suggestion. Why on earth would you recommend someone use the obnoxious "How to ______ ?" question format? Yes, I know it's extremely common, but it's completely nonsensical English. Just try saying it out loud with an inquiring inflection on the last word. Sounds ridiculous doesn't it? At least without the question mark it means that the thread is on the topic of "How to _____". </OT> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
