I tried really hard to explain that I tried both og and domains and that 
neither works for me. og is good to partition of content for a special 
interest group such as prolog programmers in a computer club.

domain doesn't work because it wants to show me all the shared content 
I'm allowed to see whichever site I am viewing.

In my case, everyone has to be known at birdiya.example.com, so sharing 
users seems simple and good.

While all my sites share a common domain name, and that is what I 
intend, I don't intend to require it. If Wagerup wants to join in and 
already owns wagerup.example.net we can use that.

birdiya.example.com should have been birdiya.example.org, but that 
shouldn't matter.

Sharing user's isn't the greatest of my concerns, the other solutions 
fail because they do not share content the way I want to.
