        Hmmm... I don't see Gmane, nor grc, nor va in their list of 
hierarchies; does that mean trouble? 

        Incidentally, what I found said specifically that Comcast does 
not provide "Usenet." Searching comcast.net gets a long list of what I 
guess are feeds; but what I don't see is any indication whether comcast 
provides any feeds other than usenet. And I can't really tell yet what, 
if anything, I'm getting from whom.

        When I list six or eight newsservers in Pan, what determines how 
I actually get to them? Am I getting news.gmane.org, for instance, 
through comcast, or still through swva, or somehow directly, or what??
