Hello John, I don't understand your question. Registered members can modify their own account, edit datas and create a pseudonym. It was not possible before and was asked by several members. For non members, I just wrote they can register as it's free, to enjoy the Encyclopedia... Registration is necessary in the website so that a member can't modify or delete the information of another member. It's always necessary when you program a website with a database behind. Security is important. I don't sell the information if it's what you think about ?

Re: [meteorite-list] Encyclopedia of Meteorites : New features
Hi, Darren, List By a remarkable coincidence, I first experienced that same little security wrinkle this morning, and I was completely baffled as to the cause. But now I know why it happened... and where. It was a mystery at the time, though. I saved everything in progress, shut down every running application, turned the computer off and back on, re-started everything, and was cursing WinDoze for it the whole 10 minutes... (Do I have to apologize to MicroSoft now? I hope not.) Since Darren has identified the site as David Weir's, I recall from an old List discussion that he had a real problem with no-necks lifting big chunks of his material to adorn their eBay auctions. That was the motive for the security, I suspect. (As an aside, David, there are at least two ways that I discovered to circumvent that security. Not that I was snitching text, of course...) Another common page security wrinkle is to direct all right mousekey clicks to a snippy little alert box that questions the user's integrity and ancestry simultaneously... I have run into that on a number of older websites; it is less annoying but equally circumventable. It's not the security device that annoys, as much as not knowing what's wrong! Why not just title every such .html page as Clipboard Is Disabled While This Window Is Open. Since IE (and most other browsers) displays the page title in the top bar of the window, it would save visitors from going berserk and shutting down their computers... Sterling K.
