Sorry: I'll try again in more detail.
This may no longer be the case, but when I started reading the
linux.debian.user newsgroup, it was listed as "m" (moderated) on my
ISP's news server. The first time I tried to post, I got a rejection
e-mail telling me that I had to register for the mailing list in order
to post to the newsgroup. I did that, confirmed the e-mail address,
then switched off the mailings (because I was already reading the
newsgroup).

In every other case that has been true for me too.
