I don't agree with the pass word idea, but will participate due to the value I place on the experience here. My reasons for disagreeing with the password are simple- they can be bypassed, they can be stolen, and having any site with a password draws attention from people who just have to know what's behind the password. Some good and some bad. So you get a few cranks who post their psycho-babble on the forum- big deal- we've had one in the two years I've been on this forum. Do what I do as a paramedic with psych cases- ignore the babble, speak to them civilly, and give them valium if you can get away with it. They need attention so they infuriate us intentionally and get it. What do you do at a public event when somebody comes up and asks fifty back to back stupid questions, or acts like an arrogant ass in your presence- ignore them. Password protected sites draw scrutiny- we don't need it. Let this little corner of the web go on quietly, without provoking any professional inquiries into our business, keep it open for the huddled power wagon masses, and tolerate the loose cannons. Joe, you're doing a great job- I'm sure you'll make the best decision.
