As in when I first experimented posting to this newsgroup via NTTP on
news.gmane.org by posting a follow-up to a message on what they call:
gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general and got this??:

- -> Subject: gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general: Authorization required
- -> 
- -> You have sent a message to be posted on the
- -> gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general newsgroup.
- -> 
- -> Before the message is posted on the newsgroup, you have
- -> to confirm that you exist.  Just reply to this message, and
- -> the message will be posted.
- -> 
- -> 
- -> You have to respond within one week.
- -> 
- -> --
- -> Your friendly autoauthorizer at Gmane.org
- -> http://gmane.org/
