But I am a bit confused, though...The Google Groups privacy notice states: You need a Google Account to create a group or post comments in the Google Groups service. [1] Yet the Google Groups FAQ seems to state the opposite: Activities that don't require a Google Account: * Reading posts in public groups * Searching for groups, posts, or authors * Posting to groups via email if they are unrestricted or you're already a member * Joining a public Google Group via email [2] It really doesn't matter to me, as I have a Google account...but, it might matter otherwise to someone who might want to join the list but would rather not be forced to create a Google account to participate.
