[Tutor] Cool messages from the past

[Daniel Yoo]

I thought it might be fun to look at tutor@python.org posts from a few
years ago, to see what it was like back then.  After reading a few of
them, I feel _really_ impressed by the topics and techniques that the
patriarchs (no disrespect intended!  *grin*) used.

As an example of one of the idioms, take a look at:

Has anyone thought about going through the archives, and doing a
compilation of them?  Perhaps we could glean some sort of "cookbook" that
might help new programmers with very beautiful techniques.
