To sign up, you must subscribe their newsletter to the list, at least that's how the TCWUG group has it set up. Additionally, they have not used the mailman "topics" feature to label it as "advertisement". Please do not cave in to this request, or if you do, place the crappy advertisement newsletter on another list. IMHO, newsletters should be sent out to INDIVIDUALS, not lists, on a subscription basis only. > * review copies of O'Reilly products > * donations of books and other promo items Yay.
