[racket] Off Topic: Anybody reading this via news.gmane.org?

Just wondering if anyone else reads this list via gmane and also is 
having problems?

I follow several lists via gmane and a few days ago all my posts started 
being rejected - no authorization email, just  an immediate "you are not 
allowed to post" error.   Then 2 days ago, I also lost read access to 
all the lists - attempts get "480 Read access denied".  I can ping the 
NNTP server but I can't connect to it.

I have sent a couple of emails to gmane's adminstrator but so far I 
haven't gotten any response.  Gmane is an open service that doesn't 
require accounts, so I am uncertain how I suddenly could be denied 
reading privilege ... even to post it only requires that you be 
subscribed to the particular list.  I can't think of any reason my 
address would be black-listed ... unless, of course, all of comcast.net 
has been black-listed.

Thanks,
George
