Well, in case of this error now, the article will be skipped and the
code moves on to the next article, attempting to recreate the
connection.

At least this is what the code says. Because we are populating the
database per list, say if it fails for 'debian-X', we can just clear
the records of debian-X from the database and restart the script. The
exact behaviour cannot be simulated in this case (I guess), so we just
have to see when it happens I guess :)

I am testing the web parser so will report when I have results.

As far as the `nntpstat` is concerned, it should be good to go other
than the EOFError (fixed now); I did test it twice with the 52 lists
and it went well.
