Re: Ingebrigtsen: The End of Gmane?

Hi Laszlo.

Thanks for the answer, even being terrible news.
The archive helped me a lot to solve several situations in the past.

We know how this kind of information is important for the community.
Hope someone could give us some light on that.

Not sure if I can help to solve this, in case there is something I can do
let me know.
