You have a point, but posting derogatory remarks about religions is even less appropriate and I will call people who post them to task. The correct response to spam is to just ignore it in the first place (or report it to the person's ISP). There are plenty of Muslims in the Python community and they don't deserve to get treated to insults from Mensanator. Side note: you're not much of one to talk about rudeness when you remove attributions from quotes. -- Aahz (a...@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "To me vi is Zen.
