I agree with you. What Aahz and I are doing is sometime referred to as "just
pick'n".  Believe it or not, it's an American way of showing affection
towards a friend, something that might not be so obvious to an international
audience like this one.

So let be clear, I have no doubt's Alex's book will be a valuable addition
to any Python library.  I'm very much looking forward to it. (That's why in
my first post I was complaining about it NOT already being in the
bookstores!)

One last thought.  I wonder it the reason we haven't heard from Alex is that
there's no Unicode mapping for hand gestures? <wink>  (i.e. Just pick'n  ;-)
