Even though I said I had checked there...(http://gmane.org/denied.php)
somehow I still missed seeing it:
   z65-xx-xx-xx.ips.xxxxxxx.com (20140419)

I noticed (and reported) it the same day you answered my post so I had
hopes of getting is squared away to day... but no soap so far and no
responses to my report on gmane.discuss either.
