Test the system is despised.

I know this is despised, but I am actually testing this list with an
email. If you knew the circles I've been running around trying to get
UCLA to fix their news server for the c.l.python list, you would not
blame me. The hours I've wasted on this. I just want to be able to use
this list with a decent news reader (thunderbird) and the ucla news
servers. Unfortunately, I am going to test until it works. Trust me,
I've tried everything. It should not be so damn hard. How old is nntp?
30 years old or more. One would think that it could be gotten right at
some point. Well, write back with your admonishments, they will be
wasted keystrokes. Sorry, I just want to read this list.

On the upside, I wouldn't be so vehement about any other list.

Damn. Still didn't work.

Perhaps a job is waiting for someone out there who is capable of helping
UCLA fix this. Contact UCLA, not me. I'm terribly frustrated.

Why insist on using broken news servers? There are plenty of
free news servers that carry c.l.p, you know.

This I don't know. Please elucidate. I guess I could find one by google,
eventually, but a recommendation from the list might save a lot of time
for me in terms of the testing cycle. E.g., I've already tested one that
should be bonafide and you know the result...

I use GMane to read python-list via its newsgroup gmane.comp.python.general .
It's *slightly* different from the real comp.lang.python, but mostly just by the
Mailman-generated block at the bottom of each message.

I started using GMane so I could read c.l.py on campus and at home.

Hmm. The one I used to use is gone, but here's a list:
