Reading mailing lists with netnews mechanisms has its advantages, but also disadvantages. The main disadvantage for me is that news articles are read only. This means I cannot locally correct misbehaviour such as broken threads (which happens all the time in _this_ list, "thanks" to Mailman and its broken news gateway). Another disadvantage, and I admit it's a more theoretical one, is that every remote service will go away someday. In the case of gmane it will not be only the current article feed, but also the archives. If you rely on it exclusively, all the information in historical articles will be gone. -- Please *no* private copies of mailing list or newsgroup messages.
