The main downside to that is not the first response, to somebody@somewhere and python-list, but the subsequent ones. Do you include everyone's addresses? And if so, how do they then get off the list? (This is a serious consideration. I had some very angry people asking me to unsubscribe them from a (private) mailman list I run, but they weren't subscribed at all - they were being cc'd.) I prefer to simply mail the list. You should be able to mute entire threads, and he doesn't start more than a couple a day usually. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
