Quite right. Of course it's probably unenforceable, but that's not really the point. I have nothing against Stefan. In fact, back when I could (illegally) see his posts, I quite enjoyed them. However, if he writes in a public forum like this, he should accept that he's writing in a public forum. As long as he doesn't, it's only right that he should be banned (from the list) and ignored (by the few remaining comp.lang.python users). -- Thomas -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
