Sorry to bring this here, but I cannot get a connection to gmane and
got here through my regular nntp server (enews.newsguy.com).

I'm unable to connect to news.gmane.org, and am getting prompted for a
username.  Can anyone verify that gmane is up?

Last time that happened it was because my ISP had been blackballed off
gmane, but I checked at http://gmane.org/denied.php and did not see
my outward facing IP there.

Any other reasons why I might suddenly be getting a username prompt
with gnus trys to connect to gmane?
