Thank you, but your intentions stated above are just fine and what I
presumed. The issue is not with you but with Terry suggesting that you
should "make it available thru PyPI" with no qualification or caveat
at all -- the knowledge that you had attempted to contact Steve Ferg
and have not yet had a response was not available on c.l.py and in any
case is not a justification for incitement to hijack.
