Not helpful. You are doubtless correct about the misconfigured news
servers being a problem and certainly, mispostings to linux.debian.user
are not your concern. Really: thanks for your gateway service for this
list, it is a very useful thing. Your solution is unpracticable unless
people know about the problem though.
Other linux.debian.* gateways are fine because people using those can be
expected to know how gateways work. An faq about what the gateway is
and how it is meant to be used, specific to this list and which
propagates to linux.debian.user only, may be a good idea?
