Write a python blog/website?

[Sumon Sadhu]

Hey Dotan,

My apologies if this post caused offense. Your assertion is right,  
maybe i should have emailed everyone individually like i've done with  
the first 45 sites, but it was never my intention to spam.

We're programmers like yourself, trying to build something that  
provides a lot of benefit. You can see our intentions are genuine  
(and our python ad server was fun to build)

So while i appreciate your response, it was never my attention to be  
"spammy"

Thanks,

- Sumon
