It is very handy to know a couple of nntp commands in a pinch! :-)

The equivalent is:

 a) Open the news.gmane.io server: in the Group buffer press B RET (for
    nntp) and enter news.gmane.io
 b) Find the group gmane.lisp.clisp.devel and enter it (press RET with
    point on the line)
 c) Jump to article number: press j and enter the article number

If you want to see the entire thread, you can press A T to have the
other articles in the thread inserted into the *Summary* buffer.

If you find it convenient to read news (i.e. mailing lists) via gmane,
you can set it up as a permanent server in your Gnus configuration
(gnus-secondary-methods) and subscribe to the groups you like to read.


  Best regards,
