It doesn't hurt to join the various groups. The fact of membership may not
confer upon you any special karmic merit, but for members of any particular
group that are still narrow-sighted, when they see you as "one of our own,"
they may treat you differently. Working in a group or not, it's still an
individual thing for each of us to discover a personal, special way of
contributing to the brightening of the world, and that does not necessarily
involve working through a theosophical group.

You have the option of setting your subscription to 'theos-l' to 'digest'
mode, which means that you'll get a single message daily, containing all
the day's email. There's a longer pause for you to get the mail and to
reply to it, but perhaps the whole thing will only cost you 10 cents.
