First of all, a HUGE thanks to the volunteers that share their knowledge in this forum for free! When I first became aware of this and other volunteer forums I was amazed that there are people out there willing to spend their valuable time freely helping those of us in need. Thanks also to everyone that has participated on this post, it has been an enlightening read.
In my case, I am a complete beginner not only to python but programming in general, a complete beginner to internet forums (this is my third post ever) and I am also not a native English speaker. So, I feel triply ignorant when I post a question. Not only do I find it difficult to articulate my problem, as being a beginner to programming, I basically don't know what the hell I'm talking about, but after reading other posts where people have been corrected on their formatting I am also very insecure about this. So, I would second Leam's suggestion to add recommended behaviour to the welcome email to this forum and if it is not too much to ask, some guidelines on appropriate formating when participating in this forum. If this information has already been given in previous posts, maybe a permanent link on the forum website to these could be setup so troublesome, ignorant beginners like myself can be referred to it and valuable volunteer's time is not wasted on making these corrections over and over again.
