[volunteergrid2-l] How to sign up on bigpig.org

[Brad Rupp]

It seems to me that anyone with the introducer FURL can join the grid, 
even if they don't want to live up to the standards we are trying to 
maintain.  I believe, but have not confirmed, that we have many people 
who are members of the mailing list but are not members of the grid. 
What are the downsides of posting the introducer FURL to the mailing list?
