I am subscribed to debian-user@lists.debian.org in the normal

all lists from lists.debian.org was interrupted. Also I was unable
to connect to the archive page. Whatever the problem was, it is
apparently resolved.
That got me looking for alternatives in case it recurs.
At the end of the day, if the list server is down, then even if you
can read the archives or submit posts via a gateway, they won't be
distributed to other subscribers until the list server is up again.
Take the opportunity to get some fresh air and an ice cream instead :)
