I did not mean it to be so! However, it also occurred to me that maybe what I have received and am receiving is not reaching all newcomers to this list. In fact, it is NOT the welcome letter that contains the rules for good posting and tips on answering one's own questions, but an auto-generated email in response to a newcomer's first few posts. Instead of posting a copy of the email sent to me, see http://code.activestate.com/lists/python-tutor/88777/ , which appears to contain the full text of what I have received. I hope it is helpful to anyone who has not received it for some reason or other. -- Cheers! boB _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
