Who the hell decided that Gmane was worth a damn? It has to be the most retarded webapp ever. I just wrote up a long post to the jetty discuss list and got back this error: You have lines longer than 80 characters. Fix that.
Are you kidding? They really want me to go through each line and manually add line breaks at 80 characters. Keep in mind that the input is in a textarea box, so knowing where 80 characters is not exactly easy.
Honestly, this has to be the worst designed webapp. Ever.

Gmane is a great service, but I have to admit I’ve never tried posting to a list through the web interface there.
My advice is to pick up Unison, a quality nntp client (from Panic, the makers of Transmit) and use that instead. It makes the whole experience a lot easier. (You are on a mac right?)
