What's this strange word "simply" that you use?

There might or might not be standards for "participation" in the
network. Being too close-mouthed might be seen as stand-off-ish and ....
er.... unmutual.

Saying "I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you" might be amusing
the first few times, but it could soon wear thin.
