[Tutor] nominees please

[Alfred Milgrom]

OK, you are right that the request was for individual posts rather than 
posters, but I would tend to agree with the previous posters about the 
nominations.

The outstanding quality of this list is a result of the dedication and 
effort put in by some brilliant people such as Magnus Lycka, Danny Yoo, and 
Alan Gauld.

To illustrate this point, here are some individual postings which I found 
helpful and/or insightful and/or amazing:

Magnus Lycka for "Re: [Tutor] getting started" on 16/11/2002
         Despite the nondescript topic name, this was actually a discussion 
on the use of while 1: construct

Alan Gauld for "RE: [Tutor] getting started" on 17/11/2002
         A reply and continuation on the use of while 1:
         This of course illustrates Danny's point about nominating threads

Danny Yoo for "Re: [Tutor] need some help for program!! [More hidden markov 
models " on 17/11/2002
         An eye-opening look at Hidden Markov models

Magnus Lycka for "Re: [Tutor] Editors/form builders for GUI and 
productivity" on 13/12/2002
         Encouraging people to think about what can be programmed, such as 
more automated GUI construction

Thanks to all you guys for making this such an interesting list to 
subscribe to.
