I don't think this is a danger. To the best of my knowledge, Gmane is only a mail-to-news and news-to-mail *gateway*, not a news server. Posting an article results in a message to the mailing list (if that's possible); only when the message arrives back via the list is it available via the news interface. So as I understand it, it's not technically possible to post a message that is visible only through the Gmane news server but not to people subscribed to the mailing list. I could be wrong.

That would be bad indeed. Cheers, -- Philip Newton <philip.newton@...>
