I see no difference between using Gmane and any other newsgroup, once 
it's set up.  It's just that the instructions on how to do it are crappy 
at best.  And LO can't do anything about Gmane's instructions.

I *think* I see the problem.  You may have some things mixed up, 
resulting in you trying to do the impossible.

I'd like to explain this here, in the list, but I'm not sure the "how to 
do it" would be appropriate for the thread.  I'd also like to be able to 
include some screenshots, but since the list is text only, I can't do 
that either.  And, it would be lengthy, if you want me to do a good job. 
 :-)

I'd like to get some feedback on the legitimacy of posting the 
instructions here.  Maybe something from a moderator would be nice.  :-)
