You do know it's a mailing list that you've subscribed too, right?

As in, people post and you get their posts, not just replies to your
own messages.

You could read it via gmane and read only the replies to your threads
-- though I am not sure if you can post to Tutor without being a
subscriber.

I do get the downside of subscribing -- at the very least, you've got
to put up with long questions posted by me ;-)

But, I'd encourage you to remain subscribed. I am certainly no expert
(as today's Tutor traffic can attest). But, much of what I know I
learned by reading other people's questions and the answers to them.

Best,

Brian vdB

You mean spam?! This is not the first time you are using email, is it?
how should i stop it?


Well, it depends. If you are on *nix machine, you can install
Spamassassin locally for your id and filter emails out.

If you are on a Windows machine and use outlook, you can install
Spambayes for Outlook. See http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/
for more info.

If you are using OE, I would recommend installing Thunderbird and using
the built-in junk mail controls. It is pretty cool and works well.

I am sure you will get a lot of other ideas from the other fine people
on this list.

HTH!

Ah...I see your predicament after reading Brian's response. I mistook
your post to be about getting spammed.

Sorry fella, if you are on a mailing list you are going to get ALL
mails addressed to the list (whether or not they are responses to your
questions). Your only option is to turn off mail delivery completely,
but that means you will not get any answers related to your questions
either.

Believe me, it is not a bad idea or an inconvenience to receive other
emails on the list; you will learn a thing or two!

Thanks,
-Kartic

Hello. I've just started learning Python a few weeks ago. I'm using the free "How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python".

Maybe help explain some things and give me ideas for practice programs that go along with what I'm learning. And if you...

This is still for the db for the recreational tree climbing business. I thought I'd solved the problem of clients often being part of the same household, with a tblHouseholds, with Household as a FK in the Persons table. The main reason for a Households table is to give an appropriate mailing name for the household address, e.g. "The Brown Family" or "Jim & Jean Smith." This looks good to me till I consider when and how the household...
