Hi Robert,<br>
<br>
I followed your suggestion by replacing "myid" by my mail address,
which isn't registered for a Google account.<br>
There was no error message and I was forwarded to the Login page.<br>
But logging in with the mail address failed with the message: "Your
Google account could not be found" (translated myself)<br>
<br>
So I'll wait if just the login fails and I get messages from the
list or if everything failed.<br>
<br>
Will keep you informed.<br>
<br>

<div>There appears to be a perception that you can only join the
osg-users group using a Google account. This isn't correct,
plenty of folk have already joined using non google email
addresses. <br>

<div>I did a search online about subscribing and came across the
suggestion of using a url in the form:<br>

<div class="gmail_quote">If you still are struggling to
subscribe then I can manually add your email address. Just
email me directly and I can add you.</div>

<div class="gmail_quote">The trick of banning everyone from
joining the old osg-users looks to have stopped the flood of
dubious subscription requests so for now the immediate issue
of me being overwhelmed with support work is over, but it's
just a short term hack as it bans everyone, including
genuine requests.</div>
