Problem solved, then - just use gmane to read/post/whatever.  :-)

You can't post through Gname, only read.

Really?  Because I participate in a number of lists through gmane and I 
participate by posting there.  And I get responses....

Arguably, that might be something the list moderator can set, but it 
seems all that you need to do is subscribe to the list (some lists are 
subscriber only) and then post to the newsgroup using the e-mail address 
you subscribed with.  That *should* work in every case.

I pre-empt that by speaking first, if I can.

With. The album with the same title. I only have it on vinyl, but I 
sampled it from my USB record player. In fact one of the first things I 
did when I got my new machine (the old one had intermittent problems 
with the USB ports).

I don't know any dates by heart, but without resorting to Google, I can tell it
is *quite* a bit ;)

Good music is timeless.

yes, we are talking about something of the order of pi*1e5 days before 
he was born.

indeed.
See, p.o-t never disappoints when talking about whatever sort of music. 
There are always people who know about it. I now know that there are 
some here that know and appreciate Moving Hearts, Blackmore's Night and 
von Bingen. I can't remember any reaction when I mentioned Eric Bogle or 
Meav, but no doubt there are some fans here. Anybody else got a good tip 
about some less know music?

Really? That's interesting... I can't even see a button for posting a 
message.

Using a newsreader?

You do realise you can connect to news.gmane.org with Thunderbird, yes?
