Is it a list, is it a newsgroup? No, it's c.l.py!

In fact you could be reading this in a number of different forms, and 
there are equally many ways to inject content into the stream. It's 
surprisingly difficult to filter everything out, though the list 
managers at python.org seem to do a remarkably effective job.

I'm not particularly interested in that subject matter either, but 
believe me there could be a lot more of that kind of thing than actually 
makes it through!
