[pydotorg-www] Leaving pydotorg

[George Belotsky]

Wow, so sorry to hear this, Steve!

I really hope that you will stay involved -- the Python community is a much
better place today because of your untiring efforts over the years.  You
really made a difference.

Wish you all the best in all things, Python and otherwise ...

George.
