Yes (just now) - no difference.
I did just notice something else though: leafnode attempts to post an
article twice! I've no idea why this is happening at all - I can't
even post to nntphost.cs.strath.ac.uk, and it doesn't have a feed of
the newsgroup I'm trying to post to! Here's the log, the lines
beginning `Posting' are relevant:
