To be clear my issue was that i thought it was unusual to have to enter my id and pw to be able to browse the site at all. I usually just go to eccie .net then s.a. then look at new posts without logging on since i dont usually get messages and i dont currently have premo access anyway. To read email and post i fully expect to enter my info and sign off after of course.
But it sounds like sonya was having a different problem anyway.
