Also, you can set up your Tutor options so that you don't get general
messages from the list.  If you visit:

    http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

and go down to the bottom "Edit Options" form, you can set this option.  
This will still allow you to send messages to Tutor, but you won't hear
the "background noise" from the list.  If tutors are careful to use
Reply-to-all, you should still receive personal emails from people who
want to answer your questions.

Personally, though, I like hearing background noise.  You'll never know if
you're missing something useful!  Plus hearing --- excuse me, seeing! ---
other people's questions and comments can be really helpful while learning
a language.

Another option is to turn on "digest" mode in your options, so that
instead of getting ten messages a day, you'll get one whole digest.  This
may be less cluttering for you.


Good luck!
