Actually, your rhetoric probably turned off most people on this
mailing list who otherwise might have wanted to help you.  If that is
the kind of attention you wanted, then you achieved it.  And since
this is a publicly archived mailing list, your attention-getting
efforts will be on display for all time, for anyone who queries your
name, email or home address.

This might be a user profile issue.  Some users have experienced this
and fixed it by deleting their profile per these instructions:

If you can point out what registration URL was giving you trouble we
can take a look at it.  But we do try to support our users via mailing
list as well, and since you are able to send emails to this list, that
appears to be a good approach for now.
