Yes, but it works. I use gmane for c.l.p mostly because I also use it for other Python lists that are *not* gatewayed to a Usenet group, I far prefer the newsgroup interface, and I like having all Python groups together in one block in the side-bar. At one time, my newserver access was also less dependable than Gmane and switching back and forth was a nuisance. Terry J. Reedy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
