my postings archived?
Good point!
It's ironic. But it's now no longer needed for Google groups archives.
Post by Andreas KohlbachAlthough Gmane and others might still honor it.
Is Gmane still around?
http://gmane.org/post.php
I used to use gmane, years ago, via a normal nntp newsreader at
news.gmane.org:119 blank/blank
(i.e., I didn't use the mail-to-news gateway) in order to post to
gmane.comp.gnome.apps.pan.user
gmane.linux.centos.general
etc.
I think (I might be misremembering) that Gmane over network news always
worked; Lars at some point might have decided not to work on the web
interface anymore (possibly because of troll lawyers), but the service
itself remained on-line (again IIRC, and except DNS issues and changes).
Linking to posts on Gmane can be done like for other news servers
news://gmane.io/message-id
Although there might be another preferred format for such addresses, I
think this format works both in lynx and SeaMonkey Navigator.
Post by IndiraBut I thought that died (along with the Mozilla nntp server
atnews.mozilla.org:119 blank/blank
for posting to mozilla.support.firefox & mozilla.support.thunderbird
which, I think, no longer exists.
It lasted for a lot longer than the mozilla announcement, but at some
point Giganews removed the DNS entry, and then decomissioned the
server/setup that was serving news.mozilla.org. Near the end, I was
accessing it via the IP address.

Now mozilla.support.seamonkey on Google Groups suffered the fate of
being flagged because of SPAM. Can you guess which server injected the
SPAM it most likely got flagged for?

Post by IndiraIn summary - aren't they both already long dead?
(Gmane is well alive, along with gwene; for the three news.mozilla.org
groups mentioned above, there are three new groups under alt.*)
