Excellent link Kent. This just highlights how woefully inadequate the official documentation for super() is! It has also confirmed my belief that I'm better off sticking to explicit calls and worrying about diamond lattice situations only when I need to (which is very rarely indeed!). Its also confirmed that I did the right thing by ignoring super in my tutor!
