Alright, let me re-explain:

It is called whenever that method is called whenever a certain method is 
called in the API.

However, there might be other ways that a membership could be inserted.  If 
you want to catch *every* insert, then do a preInsert.  If you want to catch 
group.addMember(), then maybe membershipPreAddMember.  However, I don't know 
which internal methods call the one which fires a membershipPreAddMember, and 
which don't... maybe it should say:

FROM: high level, not the side effects
TO: high level, maybe not the side effects

What are you trying to do?

Thanks,
Chris
