I note that you've certainly done that in the past. ;-) One critical difference between "yes" and "no" in this context is that a "no" can be retracted, but "yes" rarely can. So I think that a bias toward "no" is overall good. But yes, we have to trust your instincts in the end; that's why we're all using Python in the first place. -- Aahz (aahz@pythoncraft.com) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ Why is this newsgroup different from all other newsgroups? --
