I know I'm beating a dead horse with the "can't we be a little nicer"
question, but...
Since _he_'s not going to get your reply (unless you CC'd him?), I assume
you're just trying to impress the rest of us with your knowledge of RFC's?
OK, I'm impressed, in more ways than one; you must have a lot of time on
your hands to type all that instead of just cutting & pasting a message
header.
I'll send him the info, but if I were he and saw your reply in the archives I'd
promptly unsubscribe and find some other place to discuss my classic
computers.

Subject: Re: joining the list ?
How does somebody new join this list.
Who do they write to, etc ?
Well, you could always try the standard -request address, as outlined
in the last paragraph on page 5 of RFC 1118; the second question in
section 9 of RFC 1206; the "mailing list" entry in RFC 1392; question
9.2 in RFC 1594; section 3.1.2 and 3.2.2 of RFC 1855; section 6 of RFC
2142; the last paragraph of section 1 of RFC 2369; and probably other
places I didn't pick up offhand.
If wherever you found out about the list includes messages with
headers, you could also use either of the links present in the
List-Subscribe: header of every list message.
