Actually there is a "rank this post" (gotta be careful with that verbage!) AND a "report this post as spam". Of course it only exists in GG's and not Usenet. I *do* know that the star system is used quite frequently, but i doubt anyone bothers to use the "report as spam" link since it seems have no effect whatsoever. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
