When I decided to get involved with MOTM, about a year ago,
I found the list on the Yahoo groups and became member
using the standard yahoo interface. No problem at all.

This probably explains some hostile reactions to my
 presence on the list, especially when I explained I still
 don't have any MOTM module (I have 11 on order now, so you
 can sit down again ;). People assumed I'm a troll for some
 reason, while I'm being polite and all, and just wanted to
 learn about MOTM before I buy. And for several reasons
 that first order took longer than expected.

I even got a private email a couple of month ago from a
member telling me to f**k off, just out of the blue. He
apologized after I explained the situation. Looks like the
formula is this:

	list member without MOTM stuff == troll.

So why is this list closed like a fortress?
