<p>I'm with gabe on this one.</p><p>Took one heck of a time to get my screen name working. Couldn't decipher the emailed passwords. The type face is hard to fathom; the numeral - 1, the lower case letter L -l, the upper case letter I - I , are too similar for a random, non-user-generated password. </p><p>Now compound that with a - "14, count'em fourteen, 14" - characters consisting of upper case, lower case, and weird characters coupled with the laws of incipient error rates, it is close to an impossible task.</p><p>If I have to punch in a 12 digit credit card number, 1 out of 20 attempts will have an error, and this is with a number that I know practically by heart. Most people have a 5 percent error rate; better than 2 is rare<br></p><p>What are you guarding? the gold in Fort Know or some secret weapon that allows control of the world? Wouldn't 8 be sufficient to guard a screen name? Good gollies Gertrude, how much security is enough? <br></p><p>And why the the narrow space for replies and the crappy ads on the right? I know prices have to go up, only the stock market goes down, but I can remember getting a good David Morgan issue for less than 50 cents. With all the advertisements in your magazine, why must you milk the forums? At least it only wastes space on my computer screen, not paper.<br></p><p>Boy, if those ads have to show up on a dial-up, I would really be slightly angry.<br></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
