 	No sweat. It's there. It has epel *and* rpmforge.repo as 
well as dag.repo -- thanks for the start!

 	I don't think I've looked twice at web-Gmane. I use 
news-Gmane, because my newsreader is a much more efficient way of 
skimming out the 10 - 15% of lists like that that are both 
relevant and comprehensible to me; I doubt I'd last long without 
it. But I'd never manage to keep up with the email version.

 	But you're in good company eschewing it; the Mailman 
list, for instance, got on for a while, and the people who run it 
took it off again. <sigh>
