It's not hard to join the list -- there's no approval policy, the request
goes to gerry and you get back a confirmation email.  Reply to it with the
word "ok" as the message (this is explained in the msg you receive) and
you've joined.  Then if you wish you can set NOMAIL.

You could do this from your I-cafe, but chances are you'd have established
an email identity to use before you left, and would have already set up the
list subscription at that time.
