[thelist] Reg Ex - everything except a phrase

I tested the snippet using Python 2.3 on a Win2K box and it works fine ("Hello Fred" does not match) on this combination. It would be terrible if word boundary matching behaviour did vary from platform to platform. I
will check the regex on Python 2.2 on my Linux box at home and see what gives.

>Good work.
Thanks. :-)
