Hello. Noticed quite by accident that this site does not have an auto time out on a members log in. In my case I closed off the browser for quite a while, then on coming back I was still logged in. Most sites have a system that when you even shift to another web activity, you have to re log back in to the former. [Smile]

The fact that unauthorized personnel can post in our accounts without logging in may actually explain a few of the posts we've seen here over the years. [Wink]

-but still the same, I think the permanent login encourages people to post. I've posted as little as a "?" or a "!" and doubt I would have bothered if I had to login first.

All I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by...
