still OT...

I agree and think, further, we should refrain from discussions of post grammar, such as if I had been to point out the apparent English impropriety of the string 'discussion Python' (I would have then queried, "Discussion: Python" or "discussing Python"?, but I will not stoop to highlighting such).

:-)

hey, we may all be guilty of the occassional grammatical typo, or of thinking for ourselves, from time to time.

Whatever other political opinions may hold sway, I think we all enjoy the open exchange of ideas and technology (code! porgramming languages! algorithms!) that is currently allowed.  It was a scant few years back we in the U.S. could not export (including discussions in a forum such as this) basic information technology, without risk (of being a traitor of losing our liberty?).  It requires (peace) a certain world (peace) situation (peace) to allow this (peace), and I do not think we (peace) should take it for granted (peace).  There are many who would like to wall up the world and I think that would be a shame for newsgroups like this.... hide your code away and never let anyone outside the building see it...

in Python brotherhood,
