And I have multiple "subscription denied"  emails from lists I've tried to 
join.  In fact I was just rejected again from joining pgsql-www.  Given that 
I'm one of the few people who have actually donated content and/or code to 
techdocs, advocacy, and the new portal site; not to mention I already have 
shell access for the backend servers; also not to mention my helping out with 
the sourceforge PostgreSQL project page; and finally not to mention  my solid 
open source background which includes coding for the phpPgAdmin project and 
work as a php foundry administrator for sourceforge, among other projects; I 
have to ask what the hell could be so secretive and important about that list 
that people would complain about lack of communication and yet I can't be 
allowed access to that group?!?
