Join us! It's quick and easy! All are welcome.
We make every effort to ensure that the contribution environment of this project remains professional and free from personal animus, and thus, we require each participant to use a verifiable form of their FULL NAME in filling out this request. Our volunteers must be able to verify that you are who you say you are, and other users must be able to recognize you. For example, a person named is Richard A. Q. Smith could register as Richard Smith, or R.A.Q. Smith, but not as Dicky Smith, or just Richard or just Smithy. We promise to keep your private information confidential, and we will never distribute or display your email address to anyone.
After submitting this form, a constable will review your information. You should normally receive an emailed reply within 24 hours (often much less).
