Now hold on there D'Aprano! Don't lump me in with Mark's bad behavior. Hey, when i got out of line the other day, i "self-policed". And don't forget, I myself have been on the receiving end of Mark's vitriol *MANY* times. I will have to agree with the others, that Mark's tone has taken a more aggressive "turn for the worst" in the last few months. He seems to have lost his patience, has become overly repetitive with the "RTFM responses", and a bit too pedantic with the noobs. Mark, you've got to calm down man. Listen, if you need to vent, go curse someone out on alt.flame, or some other low brow group. That's what i do. And the best part is, nobody even bats an eyelash over there. ;-). We need to try to maintain at least a modicum of dignity here. Nobody wants this group to become a "flamers paradise". But if all else fails, them flame me. I can handle it. But for Pete's sake, don't take it out on the noobs bro! -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
