No, it was set up this way on purpose. In order to be able to post
your user has to subscribe to the list. (They can then set themselves
to NOMAIL if they want to continue reading the newsgroup.)

It was set up this way (as are a number of other bit.** groups) to
keep out the idle chatter and the "Green Card" posts.
