[Edu-sig] [Pydotorg] Request to be unsubscribed (urnerk@qwest.net)

[Kirby Urner]

Thanks Neil.  

I'm pretty sure urnerk at qwest.net was the target.  Definitely the webmaster
list was a source.  All quiet now (whew! -- what a relief).

I'm unclear on the policies (whether a page maintainer needs to get
webmaster email), but in any case, per recent threads on edu-sig at python.org,
I'm interested in turning the job over to new talent.

I advocate such turnover on principle -- preserves freshness, adds to
community morale etc.  Fewer opportunities to become entrenched = more
opportunities for people to participate, try on different hats.

I've also expressed my willingness to do the job again down the road -- but
only after deserving others have had a chance to express their vision around
this important topic:  Python in Education.

Kirby
