I don't know how many messages one must send through gmane before one of them is successfully posted, but I lost track and have given up trying for tonight.  Am I the only one having trouble with gmane?

Anyway, I tried your patch and personally I do prefer it as it's much less intrusive, but it only displays the last warning and I have about 2 dozen, so I don't know if this would be preferred or not?

I had never heard of growl before but I assume it's this: http://growl.info/.  Is this crosss-platform capable?  I guess I will need to read up on it when I get a chance ...
