Interesting! I had seen less detailed versions of that story

I do sometimes miss the old webUI. The search function was useful, and
it was a handy place to point people to when you wanted to reference
an old mailing list posting. But, I certainly don't have the time and
skills to re-create it, so I've got absolutely no right to complain.

After setting up and maintaining gmane.org for all those years,
there's no way Mr. Ingebrigtsen's positive karma balance has been
noticably reduced by the bumpy transition that resulted in gmane.io.
