I hadn't even noticed this until now. While I agree that honey is better than vinegar, this is a _really_ bad problem and I understand Gary's rage.
Until someone can tinker with the mailman settings, you can disable these reminder emails for your own account: 1. Go to http://lists.seapig.org/mailman/options/seattle-python and login 2. Find "Get password reminder email for this list?" and obviously check "No" 3. Save settings Might I take this chance to recommend that we switch to something a lot more sane, like Google Groups? The fact that mailman can even retrieve passwords in plaintext shows its age and inadequacy.
