I'll disclose a personal confidence, and report that
there are those who apparently want to do the exper-
iment of doing without Fredrik.  He occasionally
(regularly?  periodically?) receives calumny from
people who think he's gone too far in what he writes.
While I'm not particularly close to Fredrik, I'll
speculate that he wants to know when his contributions
make a difference.  Myself, I think of him as extra-
ordinarily generous (as are many Pythoneers), and
easily deserving of encouraging e-mail to balance the
slings and arrows sometimes sent his way.
