Pat, There really is no reason to get all huffy. You have to remember that nFs is NOT a Legacy "product". Legacy is merely linking to the nFs (New Family Search). If you do not already have a User ID and Password for New Family Search, then you need to register. However, at this point nFs has not been officially opened to all non LDS members. If you are not an LDS member (if you are not sure what LDS is, a Google search will help you to find answers/definitions), then you will not have a Ward and/or Branch clerk.
Legacy hasn't made any changes related to access of the nFs (since they don't own nFs, they don't have the ability to make changes to the access requirement) and you being annoyed really is not justified.
