Follow the exciting details in
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.discuss/12234

The only Gmane reading users who will see the (more than half of)
Platonides' posts that were marked as spam are the users who use the
Gmane NNTP interface. The users of the web Gmane interface won't see
them, as per http://gmane.org/spam.php .

And for us Gmane NNTP users who trusted Gmane's judgement on what was
spam, and put things into their noffle.conf etc. NNTP clients'
configuration files like
  filter group=gmane.spam.detected action=discard
well, now we must do e.g.,
$ wget -O - http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2009-April.txt.gz |
grepmail -h Platonides|grepmail -h jidanni
for every month, for every mailing list, to find all the valuable
replies we missed. (matching From:.*Platonides.*References:.*@jidanni.org)
