Interesting. I hope it lasts as you get bigger... the niceness may only be a feature of your current size. There are plenty of nice people in comp.lang.python... but also people who will flame you for not asking questions "the right way." My strategy has been to killfile the latter. Once this is done, I think c.l.p becomes a nice community to work with again. In essence, it has been made smaller. :-) -- Cheers, www.3DProgrammer.com Brandon Van Every Seattle, WA 20% of the world is real. 80% is gobbledygook we make up inside our own heads.
