Nowhere does the CoC make that assumption, nor do I think that it is
valid.  One may live for years in a neighborhood and yet not be part of
the community, even if one /does/ communicate with others about him.

In fact, there is a local fellow who none in our community would claim
and who /does/ participate in local talk but does /not/ belong.  He's a
renter, donchaknow.

Ah, but you aren't obliged to /not/ participate, either.  I know I've
seen Winduhs users here who have no intention of switching.

An @ubuntu.com eddress wouldn't do it?  I would think it does.
