No, you didn't. It's an open list.
It is not. I received the following message from a moderation robot when I tried to post a message to linux.debian.user :
Well, there's your first problem. This isn't a newsgroup, the newsgroup mirrors are generally considered archive-only.
Is there a consensus about that? I mean, I've seen many people say that the newsgroup gateway is unidirectional (from mailinglist to gateway), and my own experience confirms that.
But in another post here, Marco d'Itri (who is the administrator of linux.* and runs bofh.it according to Pascal Hakim) says
"If one reads a debian mailing list in a linux.debian.* group and wants to reply to the list he is supposed to followup to the newsgroup and NOT to directly reply to the list."
and
"Fortunatly, linux.* *IS* a bidirectional gateway, unless your news server is misconfigured.".
I'm confused. Is the gateway bidirectional and is almost everyone's news server misconfigured? Is everyone doing something wrong? Or is it just me?
