Pier-EmailSender and "Contact Us"

[stéphane ducasse]

Apparently there is no value in what we are doing:
removing etoy, removing a lot of ***SHIT*** from squeak, fixing tons  
of bugs (the bug archives
is full of fixed bugs and fixes problems), writing more tests,  
cleaning a HUGE spaghetti mess
(preferences....). Utilities is one of this crap. And of course Author  
could be made a bit better.
Of course there is no preference to avoid to warn on deprecated call!

Apparently you only do stuff right. Perfect! But we will do it our  
way. Period.

May be you should put your code under GPL or something like that
we will not even thing that we should have a look at it.

What we are doing is totally useless for you. Excellent! Continue to  
bark if this
helps you.
