This reminds me of a talk by Brad Fitzpatrick about a year ago: http://blip.tv/djangocon/keynote-brad-fitzpatrick-5572560 http://blip.tv/djangocon/keynote-brad-fitzpatrick-5572560 Basically, if you put your email address in a project, you're going to get emails from random people for the rest of your life.
