I think the issue is that these are messages coming straight out of numpy that are nearly impossible to supress. My personal opinion is that they are annoying at best and can ruin screen output that the user might be looking for. I feel that if we let these stick around, more of these will pop up. If at a later date someone wants to clean up the code so that the warnings go away, it will be much more difficult to locate them since the warning messages come completely without context. I say try to get rid of it if possible.<br>

At the risk of introducing complexity, we could do debug levels. If somebody wants these messages, they can set something, but they are supressed by default.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br>On Monday, August 15, 2011, Stephen Skory <<a href="mailto:s@skory.us" target="_blank">s@skory.us</a>> wrote:<br>
