> Gmane makes possible to access PIClist using newsgroup reader. Which is valuable for many people, but you can't reply via the newsgroup reader. At one time I had a java based news feed program that was going to interface to the archive to provide a newsgroup feed from piclist.com. Piclist.com members would then be able to post back to the list.

Do you mean that reading PICList via Gmane in the newsgroup reader is fast? This is because the messages are downloaded to you in the background, in advance. > It does have the > benefits of adding the [SX] but who I do not cares about [SX] > -- SX is dying anyway. Ok, now that is just crazy talk. Sales of the SX chips are higher than ever. There is a VERY active community and lots of projects, source code, etc...
