Hi,

I think Michael has a valid point - perhaps we should put a warning (in 
red) on the page where they sign-up for an account.

Stephen,
     Sorry I am not going through the list, but I guess I don't have
access to the developer list.

     The problem is not necessarily just for this account. I use the same
password for a certain class of accounts. Fortunately, the accounts are
all of little importance, but I have to go change them all now because I
can't trust that password anymore.

     Regardless of how the capabilities are for an account, it doesn't
make sense to make the password available for anyone with a sniffer to
read. Otherwise, what is the point of having a password?

thanks,
michael
