(original) (raw)

Matěj, thanks for the suggestion. I haven't used Usenet in over a decade. I may try using a Usenet reader if I feel like trying something new (actually very old, but kind of unfamiliar to me from being not fresh in my head), but for now, I'm going to use Gmail's filtering so I can prevent the python-dev messages from being mixed with the other stuff in my inbox. If that is somehow not good enough for me, after taking a few days or weeks to get used to it, then I will try other ways of dealing with it.

Go to https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev in the
last input box fill in your email, and click on \[Unsubscribe or
edit options\]. On the next page fill-in your password (you get
it every month in email), and on the settings page switch “Mail
delivery” to “Disabled”.

You will not get any message from the list, but you will be
still subscribed, so you can post to the list.

Then open your NNTP newsreader
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsreader\_(Usenet)) (you use
one, right? It is the only sensible way how to deal with the
large community lists) and subscribe to
nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.devel . You will have
all advantages of newsreader (killfile, easy ignoring whole
threads at once) in the comfort of your computer, perhaps even
in the offline state.

If you don’t want to go all that length, just use email program
which can kill threads (e.g., Thunderbird
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ignore-threads )

Best,

Matěj

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its
victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live
under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The
robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at
some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own
good will torment us without end, for they do so with the
approval of their consciences.
