Oh Steven. You couldn't win with that ridiculous Toupee
Fallacy (which i plucked from your highly specular crown,
BTW [1]) so now you resort to your old trusty and rusty
tactic of the ad hominem. @_@ Why are we not surprised?

BTW, i noticed your first name is missing the trailing "n"
character. What gives? I can only assume that in a
submissive gesture towards your buddy Chris, you replaced
the "n" with a zero-width space <giggles>. No? Hmm. Or
perhaps you forget your password, again, and had no other
choice but to create a new account?

Well don't be sad. :-'(

In fact, cheer up. :-)

Things could be worse, ya know. O;-)

PS: Now sod off to that gated community otherwise known as
Python-ideas, where you can hide behind your moderator's
coat-tails, and spend your time bikeshedding with the other
snobbish ilk who infest that group. These are free and open
forums here, and your fascist manipulations (no matter how
PC they may be) are not welcome here. Who the *HELL* do you
think you are, lecturing other people about who they may or
may _not_ communicate with?

[1] Yeah, i saw that "bad toupee" a mile away!
