It is very handy to know a couple of nntp commands in a pinch! :-)

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.
Best regards,
Adam
