	I had been tempted to ask when the list<>newsgroup link had changed,
since it hadn't been announced...

	Now -- last time I checked the gmane server says posting is prohibited.
I used to use gmane as it retrieved directly from the mailing list (which
has been filtered from much spam) and not Usenet (and its open spam
problem).
