[Pythonmac-SIG] Newsreader list name?

[Lee Cullens]

Whack %)   Good thing I'm on SS because I'm getting to dumb to fool  
around with this technical stuff :<))

I put my ISPs server in without the nntp://, but not Gmane's, and  
didn't notice the inconsistency of my ways.

Thanks for the whack up side the head Russell,
