Thank you for the apology Anand. I am seeing a number of mails and I
am yet to read them all; but first, I wanted to thank everyone who
supported us and request an end this thread. This apology is a lot
more acceptable than the "if" one and I'd like to move on. To all
those who support PyLadies, a big ThankYou.

Anand, another request, can you delete the chillpill repo on github? I
had not forked your (now deleted) ladies.py repo publicly as I felt
you deserved a chance to explain yourself. However, your chillpill
repo comes across as "STFU", annoying enough that I forked it on
github. I'm happy to delete it if you care to go first.
