Improved access speed (I am not sure how this could best be accomplished, though). I have elsewhere posted the following suggestion, which for completeness I repeat here: 6. As there is no, and should be no, intention to punish CCC "transgressors", why not permit "read-only" access to CCC for everyone, without asking for a password? The right to read should *not* IMO be moderated at all. Effectively it is now, as excluded "transgressors" may not enter the CCC site at all. So could CCC operation be adjusted so that either: (i) Things are rejigged so that the password prompt appears only when posting, for the first time in a session. or (ii) Things appear as they do, but if a wrong password/username combi- is entered, the user is allowed in but without posting privileges.
