I rarely post on this list, but I now diligently read it.  As a person
striving to learn both Python, general C.Sc. topics, good programming
practices, etc., I have found these diversions of great interest, and
like to think I might even have learned some valuable concepts.  If I
would have a quibble, it might be for diversionary posts to be
relabeled in the subject line a bit more diligently, so that one can
still keep track of the original subject matter easily, while still
enjoying the tangential material.  Other than that, I hope that these
sorts of discussions continue unabated!
