problem with Gmane, posting on Usenet/aioe's gnu.emacs.help

[Emanuel Berg]

There is something wrong with Gmane. Suddenly,
without me changing the setup, it stopped
working. When I send, it says

    Couldn't send message via news: 441 Article
    has no body -- just headers

which isn't true by the way.

So now I use gmane.emacs.help instead. It is
so fast! It is a pleasure to use compared to
the ultra-slow gmane.emacs.help , even when
it worked. (Might have something to do with
a 36M .overview file.)

BTW, if one Googles that error messages one
finds this post [1] on info-gnus-english. It is
from 06 Apr 2014, i.e.

    3y 8m (total 1340d)

ago. Time flies. But some things remain the
same :)

Now it works again, no idea why.

Did you mean to say something different in one of those?
They both appear identical to me.

Has any progress been made by the new owners of Gmane to get the web
interface going again?

There are some mildly confusing discussions on
gmane.discuss at a couple of month's intervals.
They boil down to

1) There isn't any progress,

2) in particular not WRT the WUI as nobody ever
   cared for it anyway; but
   
3) maintenance has been left to a couple of
   guys to keep it alive.
