Which is a barrier to entry for those people who *occasionally* want to post to report a problem, submit a patch or ask for help, but don't want to subscribe. Most lists I'm on do *not* require a subscription, and many people hate the ones that do. Yes, it might catch a tiny amount of spam, but it is usually considered not to be worth it. -- dwmw2
