I just want to point out to the readership that many copies of _Text
Processing in Python_ are available at your local bookstore for public
burning.  There's heresy in that book!  (apparently I trend a bit to far
in an FP direction :-)).

I think I can speak for Alex in pointing out that _Python in a Nutshell_
also makes for excellent kindling.

Yours, David...
