Well, that is true, but fundamentally none of the semantic differences between US and UK English usages are at all likely to come up in the context of anything within Mailman *itself*. They might come up in discussions *on lists*, but really the only differences that would affect Mailman are variations in spelling — and it's a pretty safe bet there that practically anyone who is subscribing to a Mailman list in the first place isn't going to be thrown by those minor differences. It's not as though UK English spells password "phaughtrufflemote" or anything like that. -- Phil Stracchino Babylon Communications ph...@caerllewys.net p...@co.ordinate.org Landline: +1.603.293.8485 Mobile: +1.603.998.6958 ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
