Sorry for the momentary grief it may have caused new applicants. 2) The "Read Only" concept was discussed at length and rejected, ostensibly, because everyone who enters the CCC must agree to the terms and conditions of membership (a legal thing). A "Read Only" entrance would, therefore, have to be accompanied by the reading and accepting of the rules and disclaimers EVERY time entrance was granted. Since that was deemed to be a "fate worse than death", we opted for the password and user name.
