Which group(s)? Alt.Appalachian, perhaps? Your name is
familiar ...
Btw, the address I post from is real, and I check it two or three
times a day; but I'm not going to mention my main one here.

I've been posting to other lists. Some of them. So I know that
news [dot] gmane [dot] <spammers die> is alive and well.
There's one that will let me post by email, and also sends me
probes at times, but doesn't pick up Pan posts.
There are several that require a fancy trick for ID -- which I
used for so long that I've forgotten how it looks. I should re-read.
But there are several more (such as Dave Workman's on concealed
carry, Gmane's two for announcing and for discussing, the one for svlug,
and a couple from Wikipedia) that it really surprises me not to find
active. I guess I should try posting to them.

Maybe your name is legion. I hope not.

I suppose a lot have. And by now there must be orders of
magnitude of private lists. But I still use Gmane for lists where most
posts are over my head, or not relevant to me.
