Heading: Participation in the E-group

Text: 56 Based on the affidavit's allegation that Martin's e-mail address was listed as a subscriber to the E-group, the majority erroneously infers that it is likely that Martin participated in those functions of the E-group that were illegal. 9 57 The text of the affidavit does not permit this inferential leap. The individualized portions of the corrected affidavit solely establish (1) that Martin's e-mail address was entered as a subscriber to the girls12-16 E-group on February 1, 2001, and (2) that Martin's e-mail remained on the subscriber list for fourteen days. The affidavit does not indicate that Martin ever searched the site's functions, received any correspondence from the E-group, or otherwise had anything to do with the E-group between February 1, 2001 and February 14, 2001. 10 E-group subscription, which requires a few simple clicks on an individual's personal computer, is simply not enough to indicate that an individual has taken an affirmative step to participate in the E-group's activities. The majority can cite no case that indicates otherwise. 11
