After your long explanation, your POV makes some sense. However, no one should be expected to read such an involved explanation before understanding common terms. I am a developer. Yes, I 'use' Python for my development work, but that doesn't make me any less of a developer. A link for 'developers' would make me think that it is something I should be interested in, even if your long explanation was included next to the link (I wouldn't be likely to read it - I *know* what a developer is). -- # p.d. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
