Thanks for the pointer.  I've been trying that web site for hours (on
and off) and unless they are being hit with a DOS attack today, I find
them unusably slow (firefox is timing out repeatedly).

And still, part of the issue is that (like a few other radicals,) I
much prefer reading mailing lists / newsgroups with a news reader.
Perhaps you are telling me that news.gmane.org support NNTP, but since
I can't get to them, I can't try to find out for sure.

Cheers.
