Logix, though a language in its own right, is built on top of Python.

The Daily Python-URL isn't obligated to link to *anything*.

I think that reasonable people can draw a line. I would welcome more 
disclosure, however.

If he thinks that smearing you is going to help his business, he's 
sillier than I thought.

Oh, I read all of them. No one has disputed my results either there or 
through email. Yes, Fredrik was out of line accusing of Uche of running 
benchmarks on different machines, but Uche was out of line with his 
entire article and never explained the anomalous results either.

I posted the link alone because, at the time, I had forgotten that I had 
a GreaseMonkey script installed that forwards to the print-friendly page 
without comments. I didn't realize what was going on until after I posted.

Yes, you're right, and I apologize. But personal bickering like 
Fredrik's post and the line of yours that you snipped do belong 
off-list. And the "If he thinks that smearing..." line, too, but since 
I'm in for a penny...
