Thank you Stephen for stating what should have been said earlier. Messages as those in the thread above help me to adjust email filters. Personally, I am not paid for working on Django. This is my free time with the family, and I am rarely checking emails. Threads like this one reminds me not to bother with such issues when I’m off. If anyone wants to see more progress, then please contribute! If you don’t, just shut up; you don’t have any right to request anything from volunteers. Thank you.
