retrieve issue?

[Michael Grube]

I'm not sure, I may be doing this wrong, but a simple example produced some wild output for me. I was trying to grab the title from the Reddit homepage, but the output produced many parens for me followed by the URL of the last site I had retrieved.

Ooh, that's weird, I need better error detection and reporting.

Your problem there is that the variable "Reddit" is capitalized, which indicates that it is a function parameter, not a variable.  You've basically defined a function which takes a single parameter called "Reddit".

If you rename "Reddit" to "reddit" everywhere you use it, your example should work correctly.

I will work on error reporting and suggestions that will do a better job of detecting this type of error and providing sensible feedback to the ser.
