Got an email, "Thank you for coverage.py." Opening it, I saw a number of paragraphs. I immediately thought, "they're going to want something, or complain about something."

Nope! It was details of their challenges, and how coverage.py helped, especially the documentation. Ended with "Thanks again for this awesome Python contribution!"

If you like what someone has done, tell them!

@nedbat Having both written and received thank you emails, they are always always worthwhile. Even just the two words.
Great stuff :ablobreach:
