I don't consider it spam either and I subscribe to half the lists they sent it to. People announce and talk about things of no interest to me every day on python-list. You get used to it. [For the record ConFoo /does/ interest me, but I can't take a week and a half off to do that plus PyCon]. -Jack -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
