Antonis, thank you very much for the feedback! You are absolutely correct! I apologize to you and the list, and will strive to follow your suggestions in the future.

As for now, we're charging happily ahead. On Mon, Mar 6, 2017 at 5:45 AM, Antonis Christofides <anto...@djangodeployment.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I, like many people, am busy.
