Dear People of the Debian Movement, I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, please redirect me. For some month I enjoyed reading linux.debian.user, as all of a sudden the fload of messages dropped drastically. Some months before my own postings seased to appear too. So it seems debian is getting hostile against newsgroups:) Or where those newsgroups 'illegal' to begin with? I could switch to the digest of the mailinglist but I prefer news. I could bridge the mailinglist locally, but I heard that you object. So my questions are: 0) did Debian policy with respect to netnews change recently? 1) is there an official bridge to netnews? 2) is it possible to post (to debian-user) even if not subscribed? (I'll find out now:) 3) is it allowed to have a local bridge, and what pitfalls are to be prevented? Thank you for your time. -- groetjes, carel
