As I pointed out elsewhere (on the mailman-developers list) this is just reinventing Usenet as a push medium. Barry has already asked that this conversion go there; Reply-To set. However, it is often the case that even when themes apparently nest (as "guitarist" nests into "musicians"), some people are interested in a collection of "broad" threads from "musicians", some people want a collection of "narrow" threads from "guitarists", and there is often an overlap where it's not obvious whether it is of narrow interest or broad interest, eg a new technique for guitarists that might have been known by cellists, or maybe trombonists -- you don't know -- since antiquity. Cross-posting can't be eliminated; you can only help users to recognize and organize the duplication. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
