I'm posting this on the comp.lang.python Usenet newsgroup.

Stefan Ram's posts to comp.lang.python include several header lines,
including "X-No-Archive: Yes".  I presume the software that copies
comp.lang.python posts to python-list pays attention to some of those
header lines.  (I personally think it's silly to impose this kind of
restriction.  The Usenet group and the mailing list are both public.)

Lawrence D'Oliveiro adds the string "(Posting On Python-List
Prohibited)" to the subject on his articles, for reasons he has
declined to discuss.  I don't know whether the software recognizes
that.

Can someone who manages the list software discuss the exact
rules?  I suggest that those rules should be documented on
<https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list>.
