Just a reminder for those who, like me, prefer a newsgroup interface for 
python-list: gmane.comp.python.general at news.gmane.org mirrors the 
moderated output of python-list.  (Gmane does the same for 1000s of 
tecnhical lists.)  I believe that posts submitted from gmane are sent to 
the list *first*, and never appear on the gmane mirror until they appear 
on the list.  Thus one will not see and cannot accidentally respond to a 
post that did not appear on the list.  One gets the benefits of list 
moderation without a flooded mailbox.
