Someone please explain the mirroring of this mailing list -- why so many newsgroups? My Agent newsreader collected 10 different NGs with the name ending freebsd.questions. These are: anarc.lists, apana.lists.os, list, local, mailing, mgate, mpc.lists, sol.lists, ziplocal and plain frebsd.questions. Only a few of them contained anything at my newsserver, and these results varied from month to month. Why not just _one_ ng? I'm in Norway right now, and can see only one of the newsgroups at my present ISP, (muc.lists.freebsd.questions). And: Although I get a steady feed of new messages in that NG, I don't see my own posting or the replies to it, but instead have to track the result with google! Can you shed some light on this?
