I emailed and emailed, I got one response but nothing changed. I suggest that the Cheese Shop also forward copies of help request to a site like this or similar. At least the sender knows that someone will read the email and help is on the way. Also, my guess is that before these postings of the last few days, 65% of the people on this site never heard of The Cheese Shop, Postings like these can only help The Cheese Shops. jim-on-linux http://www.inqvista.com > > Remember that python.org is run by volunteers, > but they are mostly highly capable volunteers. > This is probably just a change situation that > wasn't anticipated in the design (we all make > mistakes). > > A simple change of email address could probably > be achieved by tweaking the data for one or two > individuals, and an automated solution should > clearly be added as volumes build up. > > For now, how about a link that causes someone > to receive email?
