Doesn't surprise me, I was confusing ;-) What I was saying was that my workflow used to be this: For maliing lists that dump to a newsgroup (c.l.python) I'd post to the group via usenet (sunsite.dk) For mailing lists that _do not_ have a direct newsgroup gateway (flask, etc.) I'd have to subscribe and read them in my mail client. So I used to think gmane was just a way of reading a bunch of mailing lists. *But now* I know it is much more - it's an NNTP <==> mail gateway that also has a web viewer. Now I can point my slrn to news.gmane.net and see the flask mailing list, ruby-talk, ... -- which I much prefer to using email. Again, perfectly obvious stuff had I actually _read_ the gmane FAQ. But who has time for that ;-) -- -owen -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
