a very wise person told me a phrase which he'd heard, and i believe it's relevant and hope you won't mind me quoting it: "stress is where the mind compares the internal world with the external, cannot cope with the discrepancy, and places blame on the *external* world". there's food for thought in that, for all concerned. nobody's actions, here, are "wrong", they just "are". l. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
