Riad,

Good question - obviously the fact that an anonymous remailer is in use
prevents subscription in the traditional manner, however this is an
example of where Len and I can use our discretion in allowing these posts
whilst maintaining protection from spammers using the same address. Our
policy is to restrict posting to the list wherever possible, this is clearly
one of the exceptions to that rule.
