Sorry Gene, but I'm a long time reader and sometimes contributor to
this list, and there are some things that are just a bit nutty.  I
imagine that this post is from someone who really is upset, but his
response to the list is really a bit silly in my opinion.  It isn't
about python, so I thought I'd be light hearted.

As it turns out, the OP hasn't engaged in any further back and forth,
which to me enforces my original post.
