Neat! I can't help but feel that putting the strategies in a file and using 'fortune' to pick them would have been slightly simpler, but since i don't actually seem to have fortune on my machine, i'm actually rather happy that you've done this. I don't know about coding, but i think this might be handy in the cell biology research that constitutes my day job ... tom -- Also, a 'dark future where there is only war!' ... have you seen the news lately? -- applez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
