It's a given everywhere. Any thread that contains a sufficient number of
replies from both users using usenet and users using the mailing list
(gmane counts as the mailing list, since it _doesn't_ do the broken
stuff) is going to be broken for everyone everywhere, though it will be
broken in different places. For users reading by the mailing list,
Usenet users' replies to Mailing List users will be broken (but their
replies to each other will be fine). For users reading by Usenet,
Mailing List users' replies to each other will be broken (though all
replies made via Usenet or to Usenet users will be fine).
