I honestly got a little tired of the tone of the answers I was getting
from that crowd, about what an idiot I am.  My query there is still
ongoing and perhaps genuinely useful answers will arise, but in the
interest of time I thought I'd initiate Plan B.  The Python universe has
a much larger cadre of web designers than the Lisp / Scheme universe, so
I figured the answers here would be of a higher quality.  I don't think
Python is appropriate to all programming tasks, but it's definitely
appropriate to web development and I wouldn't mind using / contributing
to open source web development tools written in it.

No, because although it's amusing, it doesn't accomplish anything I wish
to accomplish.  Currently my website does exactly what I intend it to do.  
I want to see how long it is before I actually do something about it, and 
when people say "Your website is down" it actually amuses me.  Plus 
reminds me that perhaps I should do something.
