God knows they have been far too lenient with me and let my membership go on way paste the time in which I should have been destroyed. <g>

Bob,
I would appreciate it if you would reinstate Gary's membership.
Sincerely,

<<<Any decision we make will be viewed by some as far too lenient and by others as far too severe>>>

What exactly constitutes serious in your dictionary Bob ? As I recall, in one incident, using comments straight from a porno movie was also termed "a minor offence" by you...

Bob, I have a concern;

I took all the cookies off my machine.

Then I went to the SI homepage (non-member) and selected "login" and was sent to the login page.

Then I put the cursor in the username box and clicked and my username appeared automatically in a little box. I did not type it in, it appeared automatically.

Then I selected password and clicked there and my password appeared automatically. I did not type it in.

I got onto the member side of the site without typing anything, and without using a cookie.

Therefore, it appears to me that anyone that uses my computer can go to SI and log on as me (with just the mouse, and without typing any keystrokes) with my username and password, since they somehow appear automatically.

I'm not sure why this happens, but I don't like it.

I know this does *not* happen on other sites.

I do not want my username and password to be automatically available to someone that happens to be using my computer.

What should I do?

Thanks,

TLC
