Yeah, there's really only so much you can do with Web forms anyway.
Gawd they suck for UI.

I agree (especially for the mythical 1.0 :-).  Besides, I claim that
the Python code for Mailman is vastly more approachable than the Perl

the code.  Our job is not necessarily to support every wish or request 
under the sun.
