I can't really argue with that.  I understand how you interpreted
the comment, but I didn't see it the same way, and apparently 
it wasn't intended that way either.  No big deal.

And mine, and (apparently) Phil's too!  We're close to deafening
each other with our agreement on this issue!  <grin>

(Okay, actually I would disagree with the word "good".  
Clearly Python is "excellent" for medium programs and 
"stellar" for large programs.  Case closed. ;-)
