Join a Google group without a Gmail address

If you don't have a Google Account, you can:
- Read posts in public groups
- Search for posts in public groups

You need a Google Account to:
- Create and manage a group
- Join a group
- Post to a group
- Delete a post
- Read a restricted group's posts


It's probably because one has to accept the terms of use before you can
post anything, which is reasonable. There is too much spam and other
crap already. That's the whole reason we don't use something else or
run our own.

You don't need to use your real name or anything, you can just create a
Google account specifically for the group. However, we do like to know
who you are! :-)
