Usenet was a distributed network of computers that transferred
articles amongst themselves using various protocols, and provided
access to readers in various ways (NNTP being one of them).

Gmane was not and is not part of that network. It is a single,
stand-alone machine operating as an email list archiver/gateway that
provides access to read/post via NTTP.
