Have just received a second reminder to resubscribe to _our_ list, by June 30. Taking the plunge, and following the link, I found that it was not possible to proceed if I deselected acceptance of spam from sourceforge. Then it wanted me to click on squares on some stupid graphic. That was far too much bullshit, so we'll see if they cut me off. If so, it is possible that I'll have a look at resubscribing. It is, however, depressing when a bunch of wankers think they own an internet community.
