The sprit of this newsgroup!

[Mark Lawrence]

I believe that what follows is self explanatory.  If it breaches
netiquette I humbly apologise now, as this is my first ever post
anywhere.

PythonWin 2.2.2 (#37, Oct 14 2002, 17:02:34) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32.

Peter Hansen made me laugh
Martijn Faassen made me laugh
Alex Martelli made me laugh

Other than that I entirely agree about the friendliness of this group.
 I have been using Python for two years and have never posted a
question because the answer is already here, or there is a pointer to
the FAQ or whatever.

As for other newsgroups, they somehow remind me of the Python sketch
that starts with an orchestra playing and ends (from memory) with "...
and as the fighter bombers dive in to finish off the last pockets of
resistance, so we go back to the studio".  Strangely I do not recall
seeing this on TV.  Was it only on vinyl?

Kindest regards to all Pythonistas.
