No, you're perfectly right. I guess the problem is that it's so easy
to assume that other people agree with him -- so it's very nice to
hear such encouraging words. Thanks! (To all of you.)

Yeah. A bit paranoid, I suppose. I actually added that after a
previous posting on comp.lang.python, where the reaction to my first
Atox announcement was: "Oh, great, another project for MLH to
abandon."

Oh, well. I recently took a test to determine my "strengths", and was
surprised that several of the things I had thought about as weaknesses
came up. For example, my ability to be fascinated by new things -- as
opposed to my inability to finish things... It's all a matter of
perspective, I suppose :)
