Now I'm on gmane as well. Yeah, it was only a matter of
chaining -

;; (setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "Aioe.org"))
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "news.gmane.org"))

- and this is the same as gnu.emacs.help, only... I
only see *some* of my messages - on the other hand, if
Jambunathan has been on gmane all the while, it must
still work somehow, because he has answered those that
I do not see. (?)

Well, this is all a bit confusing. I don't know if I
should change. Because, just as I couldn't get to gmane
from Aioe, all those other newsgroups, for example

comp.unix.misc (*)
comp.unix.programmer (*)
comp.unix.shell (*)

are now unavailable.

Could you make a case that gmane is better than Aioe?
