Glad you got it working right, well done! I just tested it and can confirm it's working, saved a screenshot here.
I was able to to authenticate using my credentials and verified I was allowed to post. Attempting to follow up on threads resulted in slrn spawning mutt to reply, so I suppose reply-to is the standard method to post comments (via mail, through a smtp -> http gateway)?
I noticed it's a bit slow at getting headers, so being able to download articles to a local spool (e.g. via slrnpull) would be a good option, but I wonder if other users would be ok with that. Cheers!

This is an extremely interesting read even for somebody with no background knowledge in the field (that is me). Thanks for sharing

This article is so on-spot and concisely written. I concur with you, that's an extremely common problem but I suspect hardly anybody recognizes its very existence, much less its impact on communication. When replying to a technical question on a topic we feel knowledgeable about, it's easy to fall for the temptation of showing off without actually thinking whether out contribution is of any actual support

Unfortunately I'm quite rusty now, at best. Haven't practiced in years. Sometimes, when I'm mood for jokes, I reply to people in Latin (simple sentences), but I'm far from being capable to actually speak it as I used to be

Thanks, this brought me 10 years back. During my high school days(1) I fell in love with Latin and Greek to the point I would spend half of my spare time on a online platform called 'Splash Latino'(2) translating homework for people I didn't know. At some point I was writing my notes in Latin. Oh the memories, I miss those days.

I'll recommend also Between Past and Future and Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil. Arendt is not properly an historian but a political theorist, so history itself represents for her the background on which she bases a broader and timeless philosophical and anthropological debate
Well, it's not like I'm a great fan of slrn either (and not a great fan of s-lang in general); it's visibly burdened by a significant amount of obsolete features, standards, behaviors, configuration options and overall keeps quite a conservative approach, even at the cost of compromising usability. Nevertheless, it's the only command-line client I'm aware of which support NNTP over SSL, emacs + gnus aside, and that's my main reason for using it. I do most of my mailing / usenet posting remotely, on public shells (namely SDF), so mutt and slrn are tools I slowly became accustomed to, in lack of a better replacement.
