Read only to MEDFORUM bulletin board?

[FORSDYKE at QUCDN.QueensU.CA]

   MEDFORUM is the latest USENET addition. It has apparently been going for
some time, but USENET access is new. It appear to be a "read only" board, as
far as most of us are concerned, since one has to be a "subscriber" to post
messages. This is a strange development, since usually subscriber status is
automatic for anyone who has USENET access. Can anyone clarify the situation?

                                            Sincerely,  Don Forsdyke
