Dear Human Being, Hi, I tried it out. I like the layout definitely, plus the feel of it, colors, etc. It doesn't do the things I named that I like though. It's threading is buggy and watch flags don't propagate consistently. And there isn't any less spam. Google has a full screen of topics. Click on one, and get the full thread. It's (contraction) a lot more bandwidth, which might be important to people still on phone modems. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
