In need of c.l.p.discussion

Michael Hudson meditated and wrote something like this:

Doesn't Opera have a way of saying "I never want to see this thread
again"? If it doesn't, I suggest finding a newsreader that does.

Yes it does, but it treats news and mail the same way, so you set up a
regular filter rule on the subject, or what ever.

If *that's* too much maintenence for you, not reading the list at all
sounds the most sensible option.

Well, I've already explained this a couple of times in this thread. If
you are not lazy, _you_ should find another interest than programming.

It strikes me that something could be done to make filtering more effective.
Maybe adding a marker and/or a keyword line to particularly good posts. I.e.,
those that explain something unusually well, or present something easy to miss
in the docs, or report bug status and demonstrate the bug. Etc.

[OT] in the subject line helps a little. Likewise [ANN] etc. (Is there
an official
collection of these?)

Maybe someone with too much time can come up with a clpy-code rating for
clpy posts,
analogous to geek-code. Just kidding.

But when a thread winds up with a "keeper" maybe we could mark it
[keeper] some place?
Keeping in mind googlability.

What's a good keyword list to choose from to classify posts?

Rather than answer any of your questions, I want to make it
explicit and as clear as possible that, when you (or anyone
else) spot(s) a particularly valuable post or thread, it is
a VERY good thing to send a note to that effect to
(e-mail address removed)
I assure you that that will help focus the attention of
thousands of fellow Pythoneers on that specific item.
