Contributing here is actually how I learned Python as much and as well as I did. When someone asked a question (especially interesting ones), I made it a point to try and answer them. If I didn't already know the answer I would go Google and try to find the answer. Sometimes it was over my head and I wasn't able to form a decent reply before others, but many times I was able to understand the problem and question and fire off some fairly good information. And if you preface your post with "I'm new to this part of Python, but I looked it up and this is what I found..." or some other self effacing statement that shows you're pretty confident in your answer but you're perfectly willing to be taught if you were wrong - which will (usually) keep you from looking like a cocky noob, and look like more like a humble acolyte trying to do your best to help out a fellow Pythonista. At least that's my experience ;) -Wayne
