I get the feeling that I've become Warnocked¹ here.

Anyone want to comment on the approach in the patch?

I have been using it since I posted it, to no ill effect.

I did have "nntp:news.gmane.org" for some groups in my .newsrc.eld, and
(nntp "news.gmange.org") for others; changing the former to the latter
stopped Gnus complaining about posting to possible unknown groups.


  Best regards,
