[HANASHIR:3617] Re: Bar'chu info

Ellen,
My understanding is that "baruch Shem k'vod..." is said under one's breath 
between the Shema and V'ahavta because it is not a quote from Torah, but was 
added parenthetically. Therefore, it is not uttered aloud, so as not to be 
misconstrued as part of the "quote."

Maybe others with more extensive knowledge can provide additional insight.
