I think you meant "you only need to sign up for the mail list".

You do have an account in the mailing list, though. :-)

To be clearer - in order to post through the newsgroup interface, you have
to be subscribed to the Yahoo list (as Zoran now is).

Zoran's main problem seems to be that he subscribes to lists and then
almost immediately unsubscribes...as well as stuffing up his ability to
post any more messages, it also makes a lot of extra work for the moderators.

To prevent the messages from being sent to your mailbox (because you only
want to view them via the atkin newsgroup) you need to go to
http://www.yahoogroups.com/community/firebird-support, click "my Account"
and change your delivery options to "No email".

If you find that you can't do this (because you don't have a Yahoo account)
then get the list-owner address from the header of any message and ask for
a moderator to do it for you.
