Ah! I joined 3/3/98. Here is the bit from the subscribe reply:

How do I subscribe?

Subscribing to this list is slightly more challenging than
most. Read the instructions below.

1. Send a message to listproc_at_u.washington.edu with the line

        subscribe CLASSICCMP your-address

in the body of the message.

2. Send a message to bill_at_booster.u.washington.edu introducing
yourself and explaining why you wish to be added to the list.

That's it. I require the letter of introduction for several
reasons. 1 - Only people who really want to be on the list
will bother. 2 - If you can't follow directions I won't hear
from you. 3 - It helps me get an idea of who's on the list
and what they hope to get out of it. 4 - I like to respond
personally to new members rather than run a robot list.
