This is not quite a flame, but I am not happy that people are ignoring
my clear and explicit request to keep replies to one list.  I (perhaps
foolishly) did not set Reply-To: because each list has a different
purpose.  I've set Reply-To: on this message to marketing-python,
because I think that's where the traffic has been coming from.

For the record, here are brief mandates for several important lists:

* pydotorg-pwc: The Python Website Committee serves as a decision-making
body for the website, under the PSF board.  This is not a public list.

* psc: The list for the Public Support Committee -- if you're trying to
suggest ways for the PSF to raise money, this is the place.  This is not
a public list.

* pydotorg: the working list for people actively maintaining the
python.org servers (primarily the website, but also the mailing lists);
in other words, people with checkin privs.  This list should be used for
current work *ONLY*.  This is not a public list.

* pydotorg-redesign: the list for discussing medium-term and blue-sky
proposals for updating the python.org website.  This list does not have
a PSF mandate, but should be considered to have implicit approval
because it was created with the advice and consent of Guido.  This is a
public list.

* marketing-python: the list for discussing general marketing issues
related to expanding the Python userbase.  It does not have a PSF
mandate, but the PSF has been working closely with many of the key
people on marketing-python.  This is a public list.

This is Python.  We don't care much about theory, except where it intersects 
with useful practice.  --Aahz
