Yesterday there was a spate of posts from gimpusers.com, the
earliest from mid-october.  And no, it was not a reposting of
everything.  I can notice this because I list my mailboxes in
date-sent order.

We are subscribed, so we don't need a moderator to have the time to
take pity on our posts.  But any post via that forum is effectively
from a non-subscriber, even if the forum itself might be subscribed.
