Having spent more time around it, and recovered from my frustration, I can confirm that it seems very legitimate. [ And I finally managed to register, after finding the fault in my human reasoning (I stupidly hadn't noticed that there were more fields to fill beyond the bottom of the window. I guess a bot wouldn't have made that mistake 🙃). ] - Stefan
