Yes, but it works. I use gmane for c.l.p mostly because I also use it for
other Python lists that are *not* gatewayed to a Usenet group, I far prefer
the newsgroup interface, and I like having all Python groups together in
one block in the side-bar. At one time, my newserver access was also less
dependable than Gmane and switching back and forth was a nuisance.
