I really appreciate that = the people on this list are so friendly and willing to help. > Asking "newbie questions" isn't going to get you flamed here, we're pretty friendly :) Anyway, we're all newbies in whatever areas we haven't actually dug into. (I denewbified myself in Flask just last week, and there's plenty more of Python that I've never touched.) So go for it, ask those questions! Reveal your ignorance. Let us reveal ours, as we make errors in responses. And by the end of the thread, all the errors will have been corrected and the ignorance cured... and we'll all have learned. That, in my books, is a recipe for an awesome thread. Bring it on! ChrisA
