While I guess I am not considered here a rank beginner anymore, I still know I have a LOT to learn. In general I *try* to read all posts on both the Tutor list and the main Python list. However, I must echo David's point -- I find Avi's posts way too long and rambling, and while I am sure there are many useful nuggets to explore, I find myself more and more often just doing a quick scan for anything that just *pops out* that interests me, and, if not, hit delete. To Avi: I know I would enjoy your posts much more if you would: (1) Get to the point quickly and stay on topic while addressing that point. Or, (2) When you have a variety of disparate topics you would like to discuss, break your one long post into a series of separate emails, each with an appropriate subject line, and stick to each post's topic implied by the subject line you choose. I know I am often quite guilty on rambling on, so I know how hard it is to do this. I say all of this, Avi, not to be critical, but to hopefully enhance everyone's opportunity to process and learn from your thoughts. In any event, I hope all you Pythonistas have both a HAPPY AND BLESSED NEW YEAR!!! -- boB _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
