why we use newsgroup instead of mailing list?
1. to keep my mail separated from the python discussion.
And this mailinglist/newsgroup is quite big, 150 messages a day, is
a lot of mail to go trough.
It is easier to delete all mail without deleting my own one when I
want to. Sometime there's subject I dont have answer or dont interest
me. Othertime I'm tired or I didn't check my mail for a couple of day
and it has become huge.
2. Better and faster search. Has I said, I dont want to keep all these
mail in my mail box
3. I don't want to be notice 2 time per minute for mail. I prefer using
it like a forum

It's possible your Internet service provider runs such a news server and
will let you access it as a part of your subscription (this is the case
for me). If not then you'll have to contract with a third party news
service (some of htese are available for free).

thank you, I was not well informed on how it does work. I though it was
like a mailinglist or jabber like, just add it in your news section and
it will connect directly on a news server. But it work now.
