Quite correct. The email requesting confirmation stated that I could just
reply to the email, which I did by hitting reply & send. Not sure what
went awry.

I'm afraid I'm a bit of a fraud here. I have posted to the list several
times in the past but I unsubscribe when I've completed my contributions.

Why? This is the weirdest mail list I've ever subscribed to (the list, not
the contributers :-) ). We're asked to CC to the list whereas on every
other list I've used the principal is to ONLY post to the list.

Here one's email address is exposed. Changing '@' to 'at' might have been
OK once upon a time but AI bots are a thing these days, no? That's why I
use a throw-away address.

That aside, I'd rather fetch from a list than receive direct mail. In the
case of gnucash-user, I can be selective in reading from the archive.

Cheers...
