I can't remember for sure, but don't the Debian mailing list bots kick
you off if your email address bounces their outgoing deluge of daily
mails? So even if you're allowed to post on their moderated newsgroup,
you still have to accept all that mail... Man what a waste!

Well in either case, I got tired of the lists real quick. And I
remember when everything came to a grinding halt when their servers got
hacked. They should've learned their lesson then and moved to Usenet,
but they're too mule-headed. I'm sure it'll happen again. :-)

Thanks for creating the group.
