To be honest, this was a test post,
to see if I could post directly to this newsgroup
(rather than sending email to the mailing list).

I found that I can indeed post to the centos newsgroup.
But for some reason I cannot post directly 
to the corresponding Fedora newsgroup,
gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general,
though I can send email the corresponding mailing list,
users at lists.fedoraproject.org .

Why can I post to one gmane newsgroup, and not to the other?
I am subscribed to both mailing lists,
and everything is exactly the same in the two cases.

If anyone can cast light on this phenomenon, I should be very grateful.
