I seem to have misunderstood something. I know giganews carries
a.a, because I followed it for years with a Verizon account, when Verizon
subcontracted news to them.
What I failed to realize was that my profile chooses the
newsfeed. This is going to get tiresome: I follow far too many groups,
however cursorily, to have a profile for each. I had unthinkingly
supposed, as I should not have done, that Pan would not only read from,
but post to, each group using primary servers first; I may have to
upgrade my giganews account.
But, fwiw, the post I sent to a.a went from a Motzarella profile,
precisely because the giganews on failed repeatedly.
Funny how I can think a thing, and not think it, at the same time
-- presumably with different parts of what it amuses me to call my mind...
