I think me reply was quite polite.
I think wasting 200+ people's time and money is extremely rude.
Anybody who finds it nessesary to include win32lib in a
demo about shrouding and including is obviously not
thinking very much at all. The same thing could have
been demonstrated with about 10 lines of code.

HUH?????
(re-reads origional message)
HUH?????????????

I must have missed something, how was win32lib required to
demonstrate adding an include line to a shrouded file?

What rest? that was the whole point.
And it's a point that's been raised again and again by many
people over the entire history of this list.

Thanks, and I do agee. Many things I have posted in anger
I have regretted, however this is not one of them.

What does that have to do with where it is posted?
Thanks for your reply, Rett, and the polite manner
in which you voiced your opinion, but I think I'm
standing on solid granite with this one.
Graeme.
BTW: It was Chris who posted the code, not George.
