Well, yes and no. What I said was, people can choose their own
passwords, but they *have* to be sub'ed to the list. That's the key.
If they're not sub'ed to the list with the e-mail address they're
trying to gain access from, then then we don't let them in.
All the password-choosing scenario does is prevent us from having a
password which now must be mailed out in clear text, and it forces
people to "register" so to speak. Like I said, it's not fool proof.

The exact words were:
"I think this would be useful, but then, I'm not a privacy
nut."
So, like I also said, if you're that concerned about privacy, then
don't post an image. End of story. If you do post an image, then be
aware that your image or likeness is now, for all intents and
purposes, fair game for all the internet to see, save, alter, or
otherwise abuse :)

That sounds reasonable to me :)
