No worries - I'm sure I watch more on this front and less on other potential flash points than I should, and of course many on this list won't care either way. As you say, it was not at all the main point! The risk for machismo etc. is definitely a real problem - to my eyes, more than simply not having a 50-50 ratio for sage-devel posts. In fact, I think the proposal is partly intended to make it easier to call out evident events of that nature. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
