As a high-profile poster he asked, >politely by email, to the Founder's Group, with copies to ICD, that his username >and password be destroyed for security reasons. I disagree. Asking to destroy your passward does not give security. The opposite. If the passward is not destroyed people need to guess the right passward in order to post under Chris's name and probably nobody is going to try. If the passward is destroyed a new guy that is not chris can post under Chris's name. Uri
