    Don't know about you,but it really annoys me when. I select a site or forum that I have perhaps been a member of for yonks. Register/Log in. I log in. Automatically my screen name/identity is dispayed anong with my password (dotted out) I click enter erc. Then the show kicks off. Incorrect name or password.................Sorry but you, the website has just displayed my detailes. How come you have this on record and it's wrong. How come, I get emaol updates from you, if I don't exist.

    Then. Are you a robot? Really what purpose is this? I think we internet users should have some means of complaining about all this rubbish. I was once on dial-up prior to brcoming cable. All this crap simply puts money into the phone companies. What say you?

        I just think passwords are getting ridiculous.
        Must contain a number, one capital, a special character etc. etc.

        If this goes on we will all have passwords of 25 or 30 digits, totally unmemorable and always hitting the forgot password button.

        Its crazy.
