Mailman results for Blinux-Newbie (fwd)

[Gary Wynn <garywynn@sugarbeet.ultimanet.com>]

I give up!  If this is to be a list for newbies, I have to wonder if
anyone is on it!  I have tried a dozen times to get subscribed.  I got the
help message, as suggested, and it is as clear as mud, as it gives no
examples, and is as cryptic as the return mail.  Is this list worth the
effort?

Anyone give the precise syntax this non-standard subscription requires?

Thanks,
Gary
P.S.  I did write to a human yesterday--no answer.  Yes, I tried a space,
- and |, but nothing pleases this program.
