Proposal: Disconnect comp.lang.python from python-list

[Avi Gross]

Chris,

Given some notice, what stops anyone from joining the mailing list before
there is a divorce between the forums?

Everybody has trivial access to an email account these days and many mailers
allow incoming messages that fit a pattern to be placed in some names folder
to be read as a group if one wishes.

The difference would include less spoofing but also the ability to remove
and that are causing annoyance here.

As someone who exclusively follows the mailing list, I selfishly want to
support this, as it would notably improve the signal-to-noise ratio. But I'm
aware that there are a number of good people who currently use the
newsgroup, and those people would then be abandoned in the cess-pool.
