You agree to provide your real email address when you sign up for an account. You agree that you have solicited the email we send you. You are responsible for configuring your system (in particular, spam filters) so that you will receive our email.

Audience participation
This Web site includes features allowing members to post comments, user profiles, links, poll answers, and other things visible to other users. When you post comments or other public communications with the audience participation features of the site, you agree that you are granting us an irrevocable worldwide license to publish those communications, including your screen name, and to edit or delete the material at our sole discretion.
Membership does not confer any incontrovertible right to use audience participation features, and in the event that we limit, suspend, or revoke your account's access to audience participation, whether because you violated these terms of service or for any other reason, the loss of audience participation access will not entitle you to a refund.
You agree not to use the audience participation features of the site for any illegal purpose nor any purpose irrelevant to our educational content; not to harass nor harm other users, nor interfere with their use of the site; and to follow such reasonable rules of conduct in discussion areas as we may make from time to time, including the following:
