That's at least two poorly-aimed messages this week...

There's a blurb on www.zope.org/Credits where they apparently come from,
which says this:

"""
Note that by using this form you are reaching the maintainers of this
server, not necessarily the author of the page you found the link to
this form on. Please consider if your request is intended for the author
instead, and use the appropriate link at the bottom of that page
instead.
"""

That would make sense to someone who understood what zope.org is...
but apparently it's not clear to Joe Public who may have just clicked
on a "Powered by Zope" button, thinking that "powered by"
means "these are the guys with the power to fix my problem."

I humbly suggest the following blurb:

"""
Note that by using this form you are reaching the maintainers of
the zope.org server AND NO OTHER WEBSITE; you will NOT necessarily reach 
the author of any page or website on which you found a link to this
form. Please consider for whom your request is intended.

* If your comments are intended for the author of a page on
   www.zope.org, use the appropriate link at the bottom of that page
   to contact the author.

* If your comments are intended for the author or maintainer of any
  website other than zope.org, please look for a link such as "contact"
  or "feedback" on that website.
"""
