I'm a little confused about what archive means here. Will posts made to tbudl be mirrored over to this new newsgroup as they occur? Or in some kind of weekly/daily digest? Additionally, what kind of posts aren't archive-able? JM>> 2. Can one subscribe to it as one would normally subscribe to JM>> any other Usenet newsgroup? > Only from the Gmane server. Once subscribed to the newsgroup via Gmane, if I understand things correctly so far, I can READ messages there, but I can't POST any there? That is, if I actually wanted to make a post to tbudl, I'd still have to do it via the tbudl mail list? JM>> 3. And will one be able to use Agent (or some other newsreader) JM>> to access it? > Yes.
