Just curious, what does gmane offer that archive.midrange.com doesn't? Or
maybe a better question, why do people like it? I am intrigued because of
the reasons the author gives for creating it (trying to solve similar
issues of communication).
As David said, gmane offers NNTP access, so we can use a newsreader to
follow the list (I use Thunderbird). I haven't seen any web forum
interface or email mechanism that's as convenient as a newsreader for
following a forum or mailing list.
Using a newsreader is more a replacement for getting posts through email
than a replacement for the archive. I guess following the mailing list
solely through the archive can work, using the date index and thread
indexes, but when I had to do that recently due to gmane being down, it
felt quite awkward.
Thanks David!
