And won't have with the current login method.

I'm not trying to convince you to follow my path here, I've just been trying to explain why I do what I do, in an effort that the guy advertising a forum I'm interested in might improve things enough to let me (and those like me) in. I understand that there are ways to do this, and that my way is an active choice.

If it comes to it, I'd rather go without.
