Actually, I think it's impossible to just post to the mailing list version
of the newsgroup.

It is possible to post via the mailing list version -- there's a two-way
SMTP<=>NNTP gateway.  However, this only works if you are subscribed for
instant delivery (i.e., not digests).

At the top of each digest edition I get is this bit:
"To reply to a message within this digest, visit the Message Archive URL
shown at the top of that message, then compose your reply using the web
interface to the newsgroups.  Do not reply directly to this digest
message..."

Replies to digest messages are disabled by design (digest replies mess up
threading, so it points you to the next best place -- web version -- where
threading is guaranteed to be correct).

If there is some other way that I'm not aware of, someone will have to
tell me what it is.  So, you certainly have my blessing to quote me and
forward my comments to LUGNET.

Yup, just reconfigure yourself to receive your group for instant delivery;
then you can reply to messages.  For example, click over to this page:

   http://news.lugnet.com/news/mail/sub/?lugnet.db.inv

and turn off digests.  :-)

p.s.  lugnet.db.inv isn't really intended as a discussion group -- it's
really for posting inventories and followups commenting on the inventories
(pointing out mistakes, etc.).  I guess the database group would be better
for full-on discussions.
