That is true, but look at the confusion it causes --- it gives the
impression that anything can be discussed because it is Debian users
discussing it.

By emphasizing that debian-user is for support then the off-topic list
will be better utilised for discussion.

I thought there was a difference between a closed list (only subscribers
can post) and a moderated list (each post is scrutinised for
eligibility) --- or have I got the wrong end of the stick?
