Cryptic Passwords, Secrecy and the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Bill
Ahem, I've logged into the board for the first time and was given a password that is obtuse beyond all knowing. Like the kind that AOL used to hand out to new users. You know; Hello, this is AOL your new password is beans/flatulence. Only mine doesn't make that much sense. Nor does it have as much protein.
Well, frankly I sort of liked the old board and didn't think it was broken. So at the risk of begging the obvious...why fix it?
Gratuitous Porsche (993) content. I own one.

Gary,
I did not know that flatulence contained protein. There is much I've yet to learn, but hanging out with you guys, I learn a little more each day...

I must say I'm hopeful that the signal/noise ratio will improve, although some of the whiz-bang features may be a little much. But I can leave them alone.
BTW, Garey - I worked at AOL for years and never figured out what process generated those password combos. I think we had a guy in the basement who liked perverse word games.
Gratuitous Porsche content: I'm, umm, between 993s. Yeah, that's it.
