I just finished checking a very recent thread containing 67 articles
by pointing slrn at news.panix.com for the Usenet version and at
news.gmane.com for the mailing-list version.
Both servers appeared to show the same set of 67 articles (that alone
is pretty good) though the tree structures were rather different.
Then I checked each article to see if its parent article was availble.
On the Usenet side, 35 of 67 articles had unavailable parent articles,
which is pretty bad compared to non-gatewayed groups.
On the mailing-list side 15 of 67 had unavailable parent articles,
which is a bit shabby by general usenet standards, but probably pretty
decent for gatewayed groups.
How representative that thread was is left as an exercise for the
reader.
