[...] Well you could do worse than use the gmane.comp.python.general newsgroup if you want to use an NNTP newsreader. I recently left the ISP who had provided me with news services for years, and I am very happy with the gmane service (though heaven only knows why they chose to use a name other than comp.lang.python for the group: perhaps they were only aware of the list it gateways when they established the service). Anyway, ther price is certainly right. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +44 150 684 7255 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
