List, I got this paragraph in recent correspondence with someone
off-list:

It doesn't sound like any sort of recrimination, but I thought we might
want to keep it in mind. I for one am certainly guilty of going a
little too far into the deep end more often than necessary.
For those of you reading the list looking for help, please help *us* by
giving us code examples of what you're doing. There's no better way to
see at what level you're working (though you should note if you copied
it from a book or something. =o)
