Sure. I assumed the best and put my name (Curtis Jackson) in the "your name" blank. I then followed it with a SUB line with my domainized address, and another with my full path (or a good guess at it). I got mail back -- it like my name and subscribed me, and bitched about the second two. And there is no charge for the service or, if there is, you certainly won't have to pay it.
