Personally, I agree. I've got a friend who just got a Mac and wants to join. How's he supposed to do that if he can't join? He's been trying for at least a fort night. I was going to pass his e-mail on to the mod but I ain't heard back despite a public request to be contacted so I could fasilitate this. Back in the day when I joined, it was-as I believe-a much better list and frankly, more open to helping Mac newbees also. I got a lot of help from this list bakc in the day: and, I still believe it to be a sound and very good list. Jus wish it wasn't such a pain for Mac newbees to join.
