I'm sorry, but I haven't a clue as to who was the most prolific writer of the Python team (operative word = team!). I don't think it is of any real importance, as it was the balance that made Python so influential and pivotal in current televisual comedy. Apart from that, I can't really be bothered to start counting credited scriptlines: I (as opposed to some) have a life. > Idle's way, way too left wing in his writing as is Terry Jones. And, pray, which comical writings lead you to this conclusion (irrelevant, unsubstantiated and mainly stupid as it may be)? And another question, mr. Salisbury, why bother watching Python, if you don't even appreciate it? Is it some flagelantic notion? Some sort of automutilistic ritual? And mr Salisbury, now that I have your attention, do your stones henge? -- Waldo *** Is This A Dead Parrot I See Before Me *** To respond through email remove removespam --- BBBS/NT v4.01 Flag-5 * Origin: FidoNet MONTE <--> alt.fan.monty-python (1:379/45) .
