Thanks, but as has been mentioned above, subscribing (creating
an account) is not desirable. There is no good reason to
require an account if the purpose is the dissemination of
information in a manner the end user finds comfortable (here,
meaning not via a cartoonish web page with first and third
party scripts etc. -- and discourse is worse in those regards
but at least has a feed alternative). <br>
