[Pan-users] posting via gmane??

[Beartooth]

        Like others here, I subscribe to lists and set them immediately 
to nomail, because I try never to look at one in email if I can get it 
via Gmane. (I also happen to hate webmail with the purplest of passions, 
btw; I know some form of it exists with a Gmane connection, and I have to 
forgive Lars for that, but wild horses that try to drag me there will 
become instant horsemeat.) 

        Pan/Gmane is great for *reading* lists gatewayed from email; but 
I get mixed results with *postings* and attempts to post. Sometimes they 
go through. Sometimes I get an automated note from Gmane, requiring me to 
prove my humanity by replying, and then they go through. And sometimes 
they seem just to fall into some vast empty cyberspace.

        Is this a Pan matter, or a Gmane matter, or something I have to 
take up with listowners? (I favor the last, because Istr getting across 
some listowner who couldn't be bothered, once long ago and far away.) And 
do my drafts automatically get preserved somewhere? Istr also that at one 
time they didn't, alas!
