   There has been some confusion in this thread recently.  Anyone with an   
   account can read and post messages using Eternal September.  The "read   
   only" is apparently just Google Groups.  That is, anyone can read any   
   article through Google Groups, but no one can post new articles nor   
   replies to the group using Google Groups.
