Oh, no that's not it. Someone with access to postgresql.org was running an
Mail-to-NNTP gateway so that the mailing lists could also be viewed through
an NNTP client. My Usenet connection was directly to news.us.postgresql.org.
But I can understand the cost/benefit may not be there and I use GMane for a
bunch of other groups so I'm happy with that as a solution.
Thanks to whoever had been doing the gateway thing all these years!
