I am in agreement here, if a list/group is available both on Usenet and as a mailing list then I will always use the Usenet/NNTP access as it is simply better for discussion groups like this. I do have a 'proper' threaded mail reader (mutt) that I use for reading lists but a 'proper' newreader that uses that extra facilities of NNTP is always going to be better. So my vote is to keep comp.lang.python as it is in terms of content, whether that means changing it to a moderated group or something else I don't mind. The current level of 'noise' is IMHO acceptable, if the people who deal with it now are OK to continue then let's not change anything. -- Chris Green ยท -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
