I'm pretty sure that's the nicest thing anyone's said to me all day. :^)

Me too, actually. I should have just typed my message and then
killed the buffer without sending it, which is how I usually handle
irritations like this.

I completely agree. It's too bad that Edward's automated reply did not
refer the supplicant to the appropriate sourceforge forum, which would
have been both non-arrogant, and of benefit to the community at large.

Only rarely have I been in situations where the appropriate face-to-
face response to a question was, "Talk to the hand until you've proved
your question is worth my time."

Anyway, I'm sorry I chimed in on this thread. It's diverged pretty far
from the topic I really care about, which is becoming a better Python
programmer (with a little advocacy thrown in for spice).
