it is pretty simple to change the web page dealing with instructions as to
how to subscribe to this forum, but do you really think that anyone sending
a message to this list with a subscribe message has actually accessed the
web site?
I would have thought the explanation was pretty clear but, if enough people
think it isn't clear, I will happily put a button for someone to press. At
the same time, I would place a wager that it doesn't make the slightest
difference to the subscribe messages we all get.
