Then, I respect their right of doing this if it's a 'private property'.

I switched from comp.lang.python to mailing list a few months ago for those spam threads there. Now it seems a bad decision because 1) replied mail can be lost  or duplicated or even banned. 2) look at each separately mail is not as comfortable as at a single thread. 3) Google group is a more free land to live.

So, have to switch back to comp.lang.python to get ride of all these problems.
