Someone on gmane.discuss suggested I look here to see if my IP was
banned on Gmane:
http://gmane.org/denied.php.
And sure enough, when I looked I found my provider and even the IP I
recieved from them... listed as banned.
This is my IP:
z65-50-57-227.ips.direcpath.com (20130821)
The number in parens is a link that reveaks the info below:
Warning: fopen(/home/httpd/data/news/20130821) [function.fopen]: failed to
open stream: No such file or directory in
/home/httpd/gmane/html/stat-day.php on line 19
I suggest you check the cited gmane link above to see if your IP is
similarly banned.
I left word on gmane.discuss of what I've posted above but no one has
responded.
Maybe some one here can throw some light on this.
