i think this is a conspiracy to require paid email accounts to sign on to these forums! what are you trying to keep track of? is it because you know we have to use real phone numbers to dial up when using a paid account?! why cant i just be anonymous? i know you can still figure out my IP address when i come here so isnt that good enough for you? how much info does a person have to shell out to get some %#@&#! support these days?
