Unless Marco has changed it recently (he planned to), the
linux.debian.user newsgroup gateway is not bidirectional. That is,
messages sent to debian-user@lists.debian.org are gatewayed to
linux.debian.user, but not the other way round. Again unless/until it's
changed, you can read via the newsgroup but should send messages to the
mailing list directly.
