Huh ? Two points: 1. How can you be sure that people haven't tried implementing their ideas and for various reasons have come to some conclusion about those ideas ? 2. Would you seriously disqualify people from joining a discussion by the simple arguement that they have not implemented anything yet ? Just take the Unicode discussion as example: it was very lively and resulted in a decent proposal which is now subject to further investigation by the implementors ;-) Many people have joined in even though they did not and/or will not implement anything. Still, their arguments were very useful to show up weaknesses in the proposal. Now, let's rather have a beer in the pub around the corner than go on ranting about :-). -- Marc-Andre Lemburg ______________________________________________________________________ Y2000: 27 days left Business: http://www.lemburg.com/ Python Pages: http://www.lemburg.com/python/
