Ummmm....topic? I don't want to add another post to this thread, because it has gone long enough. And I don't want to be that guy, but if it goes much further, then (not that anyone else should care) I may go ahead and put myself on hiatus from this sig for a while.
Gmail treats threads really well, so it's easy to go back and look at posting patterns. There seems to be a lot of the-same-person-making-five-posts-in-a-row, and then someone else doing the same thing. And Python has been mentioned only tangentially over the last several posts. I would really like to actively read this sig, because next semester I'm going to be using Python as a vehicle for something like half of the first quarter of a semester-long Survey of Programming Languages course at the high school level, for students who have already taken a mandatory year-long course in Java (the choice of language for the year-long course was determined by the language on the AP Comp Sci course). I also recognize that I sometimes veer away from our Objective myself, and that every once in a while I probably reply to myself, myself. And I hope that I don't sound self-righteous. But I would suggest that this thread may (recently) have had a bit more noise than signal, at least according to the kind of traffic that I was expecting to hear. Thanks, sorry if I have offended, Lloyd _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
