comment Printing Block Matrices
Awesome, thanks. I put my edit in before I saw your example, and I see we came up with similar examples. The matrix I actually want to print is too unwieldly to copy here.

comment Determine whether some expression contains a given symbol
-1? Sure the answer is obvious once you know it, but I spent a very long time looking for an answer, and even longer trying to code my own answer. It's not like FreeQ is a terrible descriptive function name, and it's not listed in the 'Patterns' Guide, or the 'Testing Expressions' guide, or a bunch of other guides that might seem relevant to a newish user.

comment Implementation of builtin function Fold
@NasserM.Abbasi: Sure, but I asked the question because in this case a piece of the internal implementation does matter; if it were done in one way, I would run out of RAM, and if it were done in another, I wouldn't.

comment Implementation of builtin function Fold
Thanks for the implementation example R.M, but I was more looking for a test than an example.

comment Outline around sphere
@J.M., Yeah, I may end up settling for this. There are just a lot of spheres in a 3D array (diamond lattice, actually), and I wouldn't mind something a bit more striking.

comment The difference between 0. and 0
@Jens, @Pillsy, thanks. I arbitrarily choose this as the correct answer. I have chosen to add the line F[A___, a_?(Equal[#, 0] &), B___] to be safe: I do not want to cut off at less than 10^-10.

comment What does the slash-colon symbol do?
Thanks @nikko. What purpose do the x and y serve in this example? It seems to work without them.

@LeonidShifrin, With the help of this post I was able to parse your comment and I now understand; thanks.

@J.M.,@R.M,@kguler: Thanks for the tips, I didn't know about the F1 thing. Having read those documentation pages, I still don't understand the difference between my two lines of code.
