those are the instruction i followed and completed as i wanted to subscribe to the R-Help forum, page...completed the form and still unable to ask/post question to the R-Help forum.

The R-Help forum is just a read-only archive of the posts that have been made on the list.

Subscribing to the forum will only get you a copy of new posts made on the Mailman list as they are made. As the owners of the archive have banned posting via the archive, there is little point is subscribing to it as you would expect to receive the posts via the Mailman list itself.

The policy the owners of the archive have adopted means that it is only really intended for historical research. Almost its only practical use will be to allow a new subscriber to the list to find previously asked questions and the answers they received. In other words it's only there to prevent you posting  to the list a FAQ asked many times before.
