Please re-read what I wrote. Registration of an address merely gives
that address permission to post to the list. It is not equivalent
to a subscription. (to remind those reading this message, I suggest
a registration scheme where 1) only registered users can post and 2)
email addresses are not verified during registration, which allows
anonymous remailers to post.
