Before I can register, I must post a request to register, but I cannot make any posts, until after I register. Brilliant. On the bright side; it gave me a laugh for the day.

Their *BSD section has about 7 active threads this year so far and last post was 2 weeks ago... probably not much point going to the hassle of registering.
