I disagree, I think most people who comment here would do it regardless. And you're not driving anyone away because lurking is still easy and free.
I still wouldn't do it though, if only because I don't see anything to suggest that this place is any worse than it was last year when I started reading it.
Sure, "most people" probably would. They're not the ones I'm talking about. The people I'm referring to generally look on "membership" with scorn, and react by ... leaving. I know I would.
