Their service is *only* about gatewaying mailing lists to their NNTP server. I'm certain they were aware of comp.lang.python and how it is gatewayed to python-list, but they aren't a general USENET node and don't get USENET feeds from other nodes. gmane.comp.python.general articles come only from python-list. I imagine that it would be impolite to name any of their newsgroups using one of the controlled Big Eight hierarchies. But I agree that it is quite nice and is what I use to access c.l.py/python-list so that I can use the same server both at home and at work. http://gmane.org -- Robert Kern [EMAIL PROTECTED] "In the fields of hell where the grass grows high Are the graves of dreams allowed to die." -- Richard Harter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
