I'm adding to the noise since I want to subscribe to that list, but I sure don't want to subscribe to Gmail just for that purpose. I'm probably not the only one, though I guess most people would just shrug and say ``Oh well, let's create a Gmail account''. I consider making a list devoted to open topics more open a contribution too. Oh, and BTW, I'd already offered an alternative hosting provider to Nagarjuna after my initial post. Even if I hadn't, however, I'd still consider my initial objection relevant and contributory.
