[Ti] OS X woes

>>Interesting site. I wasn't all that interested in signing up for a membership to access their site but figured oh well, what the heck. It wouldn't let me use my 'always available' screen name as it was 'already taken' but yet when I asked for it to then send me an email with my password, it said that my 'always available' screen name was not in their database.

I do that regularly.

I in fact give them pogo at ameeti.net so as to later be able to identify the spam and filter it out easily.

I was more intrigued by the sites insistence that my favorite, never before found to be unavailable user name was already taken, yet their database did not have it listed when I asked for it to email me the password for the already taken username. What I deduced was that the site does not allow letter only user names. When I entered zxcdsaq as my next user name, it then also said that that user name was taken. It offered to append a 2 or a 9 to that obscure password so as to be 'unique'. With the bottom line being that I was going to have to have a special user name just for this site, and then to have to remember that this site was 'special', I recognized the beginning of an unfriendly site. I understand that passwords should have numbers but user names? I think not.
