Very well said! It's quite easy to use one's disadvantages as an excuse
for anti-social behavior. The Code of Conduct certainly isn't perfect,
but it has proven to be one of the most effective tools in keeping a
community healthy.

My opinion on all this: The volume in this newsgroup is nowhere
near high enough to be worth changing anything.
This thread itself now contains more messages than the recent
neopython trollage that prompted it.

I do not believe my proposal has reached—or will reach—consensus. It
seems there are some who still value the linkage between the two, and
the S/N ratio is indeed low enough it doesn't warrant changing from the
status quo. Thanks everyone for the consideration and discussion.

I will also add that it can get confusing when someone replies to a
newsgroup posting that was originally suppressed to the mailing list.
This has happened as recently as today.

Nothing at all is involved, apart from changing the status of the group.
The moderation would be done by the same people, in the same way, as the
moderation of the list is done no
