Check the end - if that is where you expect me to enter any additional info. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gisle Vanem" <gva...@yahoo.no> To: "Walter Hughey" <wkhug...@gmail.com> Cc: python-list@python.org Sent: Monday, February 10, 2014 4:13:44 PM Subject: Re: Newcomer Help "Walter Hughey" <wkhug...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you for your reply.

IF/WHEN I am on this site, I shall do my utmost best to change the way I and the people I normally work with to reply at the bottom, Assuming Gisle Vanem this is what you mean and what you want. This "newcomer" apologizes for ------ this crap came from you ---------. I hope I have not totally destroyed all of everybody's systems with my inappropriate and thoughtless disregard for the sanctity of this site. May be it be best I not reply/ask for help/or in any way be involved in this site. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > -- > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list >
