Uday has gotten the valuation of the three communications media - a
little wrong.
1/ Newsgroups are internatio
well when they encourage people to think
carefully and communicate clearly. In this respect, I think mailing lists do
worse, newsgroups better, and web-based forums the best.
Mailing lists seem to turn into talking shops where people get to know each
other over time and their "public" n

I've got mine delivered to a gmail account. For me, it was much
easier than trying to find a NNTP host that would allow me to check
remotely (many ISP's don't). Set up a filter so that everything that
comes in from the list is marked "Python". Star anything that looks
promising, delete the rest.

Yes, you have to find an NNTP server that carries comp.lang.python. It's
possible your Internet service provider runs such a news server and will
