Example, <http://n2.nabble.com/How-to-Join-the-forum-f1507222.html> at the time of writing:

* probably does allow view
* certainly does not allow unauthorised post.

<http://n2.nabble.com/restricted/n1507222.html> presents a misleading warning:

> Unauthorized to View

> only authorized users can view or post messages here

A better form of warning might be:

> Authorised users only
