Dear Python friends:

Thank you for the rapid response, I researched the information you sent
me and it has a lot of resources that I can use.


You are welcome however, when posting to the list in future, please do 
not reply to a digest message without:

- change the subject to something meaningful (see quoted text below)
- delete all content not directly relevant to your post.

Some people pay by the byte, others are too busy to want to scan through 
a long post of mails they have already seen searching for new/relevant 
information.


Finally, it is preferred if you post comments *under* the context rather 
than at the top of the message. This again makes it easier for readers 
to understand the context.

Dear Python friends:

Thank you for the rapid response, I researched the information you sent me
and it has a lot of resources that I can use. I will use some of those
resources and continue with my learning journey, I am sure that I will have
a lot of questions but I feel confident that I have your support.

Best regards

Walter Luna
