[Open message Cc'ed to Marco d'Itri] I am interested in seeing a short, descriptive, automated post on the debian-user gateway (and to the debian-user gateway only), and have posted about this recently to the list.
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/debian-user-200308/msg00774.html ------ [...] -> Veering [further] off-topic, I notice that at least one other person -> has posted a genuine question to the News gateway in the last few days -> (the person was admirably helped by someone else reading and posting -> to the gateway). I guess it is non-obvious to some people grazing -> Usenet that the gateway is meant to be RO. I am wondering if a post -> to the gateway could be automated to go out every week or two just to -> clarify this to the Usenet denizens (who may have legitimate questions -> for the list)? -> -> It could say something like: -> -> This is intended to be a Read-Only gateway to Usenet News of the -> debian-user mailing-list. People who wish to post to this list should -> send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject -> of "subscribe", and then post to the list using their mail client. ----- Paul Johnson said he would be game to do this. http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/debian-user-200308/msg00782.html Colin Watson suggested that the third party who is responsible for the News-gateway, should be consulted. http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/debian-user-200308/msg00787.html Do you Marco, or anyone else, have any suggestions or objections with regard to automating such a post to the News-gateways for the debian- user list? Thank-you Marco, for your packages, your gateways, and your time. I appreciate all of those every day. Tony -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
