Oh, yeah, I figured it was ultimately a gmane-related issue.  Especially 
with the change in ownership and work that's currently being done to 
rework it with elasticsearch, I figured it was kinda a longshot. :)

:)

I've found that I also really prefer that - much easier on the eyes. :)

Cool, I'll give that a shot.  The weird thing is it's the majority of the 
groups that are black on grey, but the preferences here have held over a 
long time, so who knows what compatibility issues might've also 
interfered. :)

If I have to edit an XML file, no biggie - I've actually got an excellent 
XML editor that can do scoped search/replace using XPATH expressions for 
that scoping.  Makes this a lot easier. :)
