Using 'news.gmane.org' with group 'gmane.comp.gnome.apps.pan.user' gives
you easy access to all older posts in this list as an archive of
information, but search engines are also a help for a direction to other
groups and places that might help.

The 'score' file is also a good thing to learn, as is 'regular expression'
so you can write it by hand, scores get talked about in
news.software.readers.

Using this with the 'filter' tab can get you some way to what you want.
