If a question springs from an idea that is usually a bad practice, then it should be challenged. The possible broken-nose of a questioner is a small price to pay for the education of the peanut gallery. If a questioner does not wish to defend what they are doing, he or she has that right, of course. -- Neil Cerutti -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
