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.
