Yeah, Kirby, we get it.  Can we move on now?

I'll confess -- I teach Python, and I don't introduce object-oriented  
design until the second semester (and even then I leave it as an  
option).  I have my reasons for doing it that way, and it's got  
nothing to do with concerns about math phobia.  Got a problem with  
that? Given that you know nothing about my students, my teaching  
goals, or our overall curriculum, what makes you think you're  
entitled to an opinion about my syllabus?
