Why should *we* do that if Gmane already offers that service? Or are you suggesting a closed news group that requires registration? I don't see a problem with Gmane, many people used it for OOo mailing lists since many years and some double posts aren't a problem. Probably our discussion here created more traffic than double posts will do in the next year. :-) Regards, Mathias
