That is a valid argument - some people might also want to keep their
membership private from the dictatorship they live in.
However I think that we have to weigh and balance goals here. What is
more important: Everyone's ability to convince themselves that nothing
fishy is going on (with the potential downside of some people not being
able to join for privacy reasons) - or everyone's right to join (with
the downside of much reduced transparency)?
I think that "if you want to remain anoymous, you can be a mapper but
not a member" is an acceptable price to pay for transparency.
Bye
Frederik
