Nothing wrong with subscribing, but it's extra step while Gmane allows me to just reply to its auth. message and ready to go. > This I don't understand; why would the filtering requirements be > different between nntp and email? If I subscribe to the mailing list, the email would arrive in my Inbox and it means I've to create some sorting rule to move it to some other folder. With Gmane (news), the mail arrives in specific group and no need for any sorting rules. > http://host114.hostmonster.com/mailman/private/emacs-ada-mode_stephe-leake.org/ This involve visiting it via web browser, while with Gmane/nntp, nothing extra is required. > In sum, I fail to see what Gmane buys me, except loss of information, You mean 'loss of information' for you 'cause I do not know about any for end-users. From all the mailing list which I follow (19 atm), only one (Yahoo-based) is not on Gmane. As far as Ada lists are concerned, everything I need is available via Gmane (linux.debian.packages.ada & gtk+.ada) plus comp.lang.ada. > and setup and maintenance headaches. Which setup and maint. headaches which are Gmane-related? It requires only one-time subscription. Sincerely, Gour -- >From anger, complete delusion arises, and from delusion bewilderment of memory.
