*nods* And I do think some mention of why this is a good idea is also advisable.

I really think a lot of people don't realize how much an OpenID account can do. --ER _______________________________________________ dw-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dwscoalition.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dw-discuss
