It is very handy to know a couple of nntp commands in a pinch! :-) > What is the equivalent command in Gnus? The equivalent is: a) Open the news.gmane.io server: in the Group buffer press B RET (for nntp) and enter news.gmane.io b) Find the group gmane.lisp.clisp.devel and enter it (press RET with point on the line) c) Jump to article number: press j and enter the article number If you want to see the entire thread, you can press A T to have the other articles in the thread inserted into the *Summary* buffer. If you find it convenient to read news (i.e. mailing lists) via gmane, you can set it up as a permanent server in your Gnus configuration (gnus-secondary-methods) and subscribe to the groups you like to read.
