Participation: You
must be an active member of [Baren] in order to
participate in this exchange.
The mailing list
that makes up [Baren]
is open to everyone to join,
and the membership is thus made up of a mix of
'lurkers' and active participants in the forum.
Signing up for an Exchange obliges your active
participation in [Baren]
discussions... If you remain a 'mystery' name,
it leaves everyone feeling quite uncomfortable.
