Dear Gavin, Tim or to whom ever this apply:
I would like to point out that I have received confirmation of my removal of this distribution list, yet till receives e-mails from them, as seen in the messages below.
Is there another magic trick to this or should I simply block the list.osgeo?
Perhaps I can herewith proof why so many others keep on asking via e-mail to be removed, and not order pizza...
Heidi

Unfortunately (well fortunately really :-) I'm a Linux user so I wont be
able to test it - I look forward to your java version, or if you decide
to go pythonistic, see some collaboration with Martin - its always good
to build on the work of others rather than reinventing the wheel your
self!
Have a great Christmas!
