That's just one anomaly of the GA. You can discuss and not be registered to
vote. You can register and vote, but not read the discussions. It's something
that all find out that really read ... uh, read where?

Yes, an endurance test. But it would be good for those planning on voting
to at least read - if not participate in - the discussion. I don't think
any of those that have pointed out the need for dual registration are saying
that anyone shouldn't vote. They are just pointing to the requirements.
