Wound up? I am not wound up in any shape or form. I am suggesting the opposite. It seems you are the one a little wound up. So wound up in fact you are taking it on yourself to tell people who they should or should not read. > to actually don't want to see it.

You are, of course, welcome to your opinion and I certainly would not tell you who to read or not read. I would suggest that not everyone woul agree with you and that telling people who to killfile is not at all constructive. > example, if you're complaining about Ruby.

Possibly it is better you killfile him or your spring will over wind :-; regards, r. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
