We have been getting a number of Bot’s adding bogus accounts so I have added a requirement for new users to create an account and then verify their email (or at least I think they are Bots based on the logs) . This will not affect existing members. You may get an email in the future that validates your account. I have to find a way to delete the dead email links. The email database is not compromised, fictitious entries were attempted to be added, no data was sent out. Sometimes these probes are used to see if they can steal content and use it elsewhere. Life would be so much simpler if these software people would get a real job and apply their talents to that, rather then trying to grift through life.

You may have noticed an entry with “Cart”, or “Checkout”for a few hours today. That was an error in software on my part. Installed software to validate the accounts and surprise, they added a whole e-commerce system that took the better part of the day to get rid of. This is not a commerce site. The information has no marketing arm, it is free.
