Steven, You make a fair point. I have posted very little recently, for the following reasons: a) I'm not really competent enough to answer python questions, at least not yet. b) I try not to post my own Python questions unless as a last resort. I prefer to try to solve my own problems by reading the fine documentation, and DuckDuckGoing. However, I do lurk assiduously and have learned much by reading excellent 'answering' posts from many such as you. The 'Goodbye' post was made in rather a fit of pique, for which I apologise. If I am allowed a second chance, there is actually something puzzling me at the moment. It's a UnicodeDecodeError, but I shall start a separate thread about it. Sorry again.
