The password is for interactive connection to the listserver. This is
essential to the list moderators, but not quite so necessary for you
and me. Interactive connection to the listserver allows us to query
the archive of old messages and files. I don't know if this list has
such, though. I guess I'll have to re-read the message the listserver
sent me to confirm my subscription to understand more fully.
