If you can't stand a joke (possibly very bad, but that's another point), 
I'd say the ego problem is on your side. In case you didn't notice, this 
joke was not directed to you personally.

BTW, this is (usually) a very newbie-friendly newsgroup (at least when I 
resist the temptation to reply with stupid puns). Instead of RTFMs, 
you've got helpful answers by peoples like Fredrik Lundh and Alex Martelli.
