As I remember, you first have to get an eternal-september account (that
lets you read the newsgroup), and then request permission to post.  I
guess that is an anti-spam measure or something.  It's been some years
but I think I got posting permission right away (like the same day),
after asking for it.  I had had the account for a few days at the time.
