Steven,

You make a fair point. I have posted very little recently, for the 
following reasons:

a) I'm not really competent enough to answer python questions, at least 
not yet.

b) I try not to post my own Python questions unless as a last resort. I 
prefer to try to solve my own problems by reading the fine documentation, 
and DuckDuckGoing.

However, I do lurk assiduously and have learned much by reading excellent 
'answering' posts from many such as you.

The 'Goodbye' post was made in rather a fit of pique, for which I 
apologise. If I am allowed a second chance, there is actually something 
puzzling me at the moment. It's a UnicodeDecodeError, but I shall start 
a separate thread about it.

Sorry again.

Walter
