I certainly feel that way at times. So does my partner.
We get that kind of crap to python.org, too. I think we get a lot more of it than most anyone else, because many stupid people seem to see that Mailman is a project supported by python.org, and they "naturally" assume that this is the site where all mailing lists in the Universe are hosted, and that it's our only purpose in life to kowtow to their every whim. Believe me, I'll put a lot of work into making sure that I *don't* comply with their demands, and I can be pretty harsh in my responses. > These are the hard realities of the Consumer Internet.

Think of all the "enter your e-mail address, have auto-generated new password sent to you" systems on the Internet. Well, that's what we're talking about here. Trust me, it's far, far better than the old reminders. -- Brad Knowles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Consultant & Author LinkedIn Profile: <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> Slides from Invited Talks: <http://tinyurl.com/tj6q4> ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
