I realize this is (mostly) off topic, but I'm befuddled as to *how* one can post to the Gmane Pan Users' group (gmane.comp.gnome.apps.pan.user) using any nntp USENET client (e.g., Pan, on Centos).
It is (fully) off topic
That said, if you post the first time to a mailing list per gmane then gmane will send you a mail that you must answer.
You post per nntp the first time gmane sends you a email per smtp you reply to that email you wait some time ...
something like that, but as said, when you have problems with gmane, ask gmane.
