Well, there is one way to be relevant in programming circles, which is often condensed to -- "show your code or GTFO". Ruby language recently lost a prodigal programmer. See _why's euology here [1] The programmer Guy Decoux was mostly known by his famous shell prompt pigeon% and `ts`, the prefix he used for his functions. His code was his communication. Of course, this is an ideal worth striving to :) Names do not matter, however identities still do. In the absence of an established identity, people will be weary about you. Your real name or an already established nick elsewhere is a good start. > You say your piece and back it up by the best references you can find.

Art, not much :) [1] http://hackety.org/2008/09/25/legendNeverToBeSolved.html _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
