Steve, I highly doubt this is an example of trolling we have witnessed here. If it really *is* trolling then i would say the "alleged troller" should visit xah's site for a crash course in professional trolling ASAP because he's not very good at it -- i should know! However, i have a good sense that our new friend is just very inexperienced and looking for advice. He may have a very limited knowledge --or even no knowledge of computer programming-- so that would explain the "seemingly" nonsensicalness of his questions. But we must always remember that every one here (*ahem* and i mean everyone S- T-E-V-E-O!) had to start from the bottom and work his or her way up the ladder of knowledge. So next time please try to be a little less condescending. Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
