by participating, i guess you mean "providing private information about

yourself" and/or "wasting time needlessly" ... i mean, if you're posting

a song to the list for comment, it should at least be freely accessible

and *easy* to access - i.e. you should be able to click on alink from

your mail client that will automatically bring up a "save to ..." box,

not a registration page.
