I don't know what the last column means. What would you like it to mean? Perhaps a complete email address, or (what a concept!) the author's *name*, would be best. BTW, my current employer assigned "tpeters@beopen.com" to me. I was just "tim" for the first 15 years of my career, and then "tim_one" when you kids started using computers faster than me and took "tim" everywhere before I got to it. Now even "tim_one" is mostly taken! On Yahoo, I'm "tim_one_one" now. I have given up all hope of retaining an online identity. the-effbot-is-next-ly y'rs - tim

And have you seen http://www.timpeters.com ? (I don't know how you find the time to take those stunning color photographs!)
I don't know why I haven't seen Thomas's reply yet, but in any event...

I'm not sure what it should mean either, except as a shorthand way to identify the owner of the PEP. Most important is that each line fit in 80 columns! Perhaps we can do away with the filename column, since that's easily calculated? I had originally thought the owner should be the mailbox on SourceForge, but then I thought maybe it ought to be the mailbox given in the Author: field of the PEP. Perhaps the Real Name is best after all, if we can reclaim some horizontal space. unsure-ly, y'rs, -Barry

Strange, it went to python-dev not long after the checkin. Tim quoted about the entire email, though, so you didn't miss much. The name-calling and snide remarks weren't important anyway :)

Emails in the Author field are likely to be too long to fit in that list, even if you remove the filename. I'd say go for the SF username, for five reasons: 1) it's a name developers know and love (or hate) 2) more information on a user can be found through SourceForge 5) that SF email address should work, too. It's where patch updates and stuff are sent, so most people are likely to have it forwarding to their PEP author address. Also, it's the way of least resistance. All you need to change is that 'tpeters' into 'tim_one' :-) -- Thomas Wouters <thomas@xs4all.net> Hi! I'm a .signature virus! copy me into your .signature file to help me spread!

For the first few years online, I was known as 'zonny'. Chosen because my first online experience, The Digital City of Amsterdam (a local freenet), was a free service, and I'd forgotten the password of 'thomas', 'sonny', 'twouters' and 'thomasw'. And back then you couldn't get the password changed :-) So 'zonny' it was, even when I started working there and could've changed it. And I was happy with it, because I could use 'zonny' everywhere, noone had apparently ever thought of that name (no suprise there, eh ? :) And then two years after I started with that name, I ran into another 'zonny' in some American MUD or another. (I believe it was TinyTIM(*), for those who know about such things.) And it was a girl, and she had been using it for years as well! So to avoid confusion I started using 'thomas', and have had the luck of not needing another name until Mailman moved to SourceForge :-) But ever since then, I don't believe *any* name is not already taken. You'll just have to live with the confusion. *) This is really true. There was a MUD called TinyTIM (actually an offshoot of TinyMUSH) and it had a shitload of bots, too. It was one of the most amusing senseless MU*s out there, with a lot of Pythonic humour. -- Thomas Wouters <thomas@xs4all.net> Hi!
