I'll agree, this is excellent advise. However, I use game.org to read
and post to gentoo-user. So how do you attached a txt file to
those postings via gmane? Options to get the txt file attachemnent into the 
proper record?

Gmane refuses to post long replies. Gmane allows one to read and post
from a variety of machines, particularly useful when one locks up 
one's main workstation, which I have done of several occasions, and have
to use gmane to recover with the aid of the gentoo-user list:
