Who the hack did say anything against 'www'? Personally, I believe 'www' is stupid and sites that work _only_ with www are stupid too. Typically, when I configure a site I make it reachable with the plain domain name, and I redirect all requests to the plain domain name to www.sitename.tld. I do that for sites for stupid people, commerical sites. Because I believe that stupid people expect www. in front of a domain name. We all on this mailing list, however, are smart people, right? We are technicians, aren't we? We all know that www is totally unnecessary in front of any domain name. And we as software people, we understand that plain domain names are much much more sexy than stupid www preceeded domain names. As pyjs.org is a site for technicials, but also non-tecchies have a right to find the site, we should of course also have a DNS entry for www.pyjs.org and redirect any requests to it to http://pyjs.org (using RedirectPermanent). I believe to have read that CAR has already done this in the configuration of the webserver. Now the DNS entry for stupid people is missing. I'm sure that will follow soon. So please stop talking excrements. Any more complaints? Peter
