Josiah, we could also discuss Clinton invading Serbia, killing thousands of
innocents, some intentionally, (to distract attention from his rape of
Juanita Broderick, in my opinion), or flip-flop Kerry consorting with
hate-America Marxist radicals, and his current relation therewith, but I
think it better that we, including you, maintain the political truce that
currently prevails on this newsgroup, which is a unique forum for
discussion Python, and leave such political discussions to more appropriate
fora.

Sure, sounds good. For someone who is advocating political truce, you
sure loaded your post. Practice what you preach my friend.

I can't; but I can tell who's grammatically confused, and whose
opinions may also be so.

Glad we agree. The same issue came up a year ago when a couple of people
posted about Iraq but later agreed to stop.

Yes, I intentionally mirrored your statements to illustrate why not to
continue down that road ;-)

I just as intentionally quoted my examples as belief or as what 'might be
said' instead of presenting them syntactically as factual statements.

Python: it starts with "P" and that rhymes with "C"
and that stands for Cool!
