First, due to the anarchic nature of Usenet, there is on possible way
this could work.  There's be no incentive to get people to do this, and
there'd be no way to enforce it when they didn't.  I've never heard of
an existing newsgroup that reliably operates the way you describe, so
you're talking about something without precedent.  Besides, that's what
comp.lang.python is _for_ -- discussion.

Second, remember that comp.lang.python is also gated to a mailing list. 
Unless you gate both to separate lists, then the people on the mailing
list suddenly see discussions disappear.
