Sorry Angelicsong but I seem to have missed the start of this thread,
possibly due to server problems. What are the "our pages" that you refer to? RCTY is open. Everything is transparent (I hope). If your intention is to enhance the group, why not fill in the following questionairre and post it to the group? I'm sure that you'd get a better response if you did. - Your name: - Your email (the one you prefer to use): - Your Birthday: - Wedding Anniversary: - What you like to do best, Knit, Crochet, Spin, Needlework? - Where you live (what city/town and country).

Michelle, I agree with you that passwords can be broken or received by
way too many people. I agree that security of a person's identify is very important and that is why my e-mail address here is modified and why I don't provide a lot of information about myself. A list that is held for only members of a group is one thing but giving others access to this information is something I have great difficulty with.

Gee's Slinky are you that suspicious of everyone? Relax and take a breath will you? No one is asking you to join anything you don't want to so get a grip!!! As to who my roommate is, it's my little dog (shihpoo) Katie and the last time I checked -- she couldn't use the computer!! Good thing too, all those dog newsgroups out there and you'd never get her off the darn 'puter! I am a disabled woman who in my spare time Founded and up untill recently was President of, a local charity group called 'Angel Hugs'. We knit, crochet and quilt for preemies, abused children, local women's shelter and for those who are on the street. My website is: http://angelhugsca.tripod.com/ please feel free to check the site out. Our charity has been going for the last 5 years and have donated over 4,000 items to those who need a hug! From the sound of it YOU could use a hug, someone has obviously hurt you tremendously!! I feel very sorry for you, you have nothing better to do than lash out at people that you don't even really know. You are pathetic. I also like to dabble on the computer and yes make lovely little internet pages with all those cutesy little things you seem to hate so much. Sorry if that offends you but other people enjoy those things. Melody "SlinkyToy" wrote in message ... I must be missing a post, as I don't see where there was an offer made to put any sort of protection on any pages. That being said, how secure can a password be that is distributed via email to anyone who asks for it? How secure can a password be that is stored in a low-encrypted format on a server not controlled by the page owner, said page owner having no say whatsoever about the security of that server? Another group I participate in (majordomo, not USENET) has a message board behind a .htaccess/.htpass UID/password pair. Anyone who subscribes to the list receives the UID/pass via email once they respond to the automated majordomo "did you join this list?" query. Several thousand individuals have that information, including quite a few spammers who regularly exhort us to buy pharmaceuticals from third-world countries and to visit porn sites that make even my hair stand on end. Very few sysadmins at large ISPs bother to put REAL security measures in place for their customers. People who NEED security recognize that fact and pay good money to have their servers and sites protected adequately. It isn't about "trying to do something nice", its about the potential illicit use of the personal information you are soliciting. As a regular reader of this forum for two years (give or take) I can't recall more than a handful of posts from you (just asked google: 8 posts since June 2003), yet you ask us to blithely provide to you our names, our locations, our birthdates, and similar information for our spouses and offspring. Given this information it takes very little effort to obtain drivers' license numbers, Social Security numbers, and other information used in identify theft schemes. What's to say that YOU aren't going to misuse the information? And if you don't, how do YOU plan to protect this information, once you have it, when it resides in a tidy little Access or Excel file on your computer? Do you trust your spouse/roommate/housemate not to mine your machine for useful tidbits of information? The bottom line is, if you don't want the world to have access to information you shouldn't put the information on a website unless you are certain of the security protecting the information. Michelle Who worked in Defense data security /geek PS -- where do you get this overweening urge to fix what ain't broke? RCTY has been going on for years without spiffy YahooGroups and without pretty little webpages complete with cheezy mp3 streams and cute little animated graphics. It ain't broke, why do you suppose it needs fixed? On Wed, 05 Nov 2003 23:26:47 GMT, Mischief wrote: You say that birthdates would be password protected. The e-mail addresses of members should also be protected because posting a real e-mail address on even a "private" site can mean spam.

OK, I think i misunderstood. I like the idea of knowing some faces
to the names. But I was thinking you would make a site with some info about all of us, the kind Martin has done with our projects. A website like that is one option. A yahoo album is another. In a Yahoo album everyone can have control over her or his own info. That way nobody has to be the "keeper of the album", and we are not lost when you can no longer do it. If you want to start a Yahoo-group, I don't see the point of it. Ria ..

Melody. I hope you are not angry with me. I had not seen this when I
posted this other message. I know that you want to be nice and that is what I want to be too. I want to keep this as easy as possible, that's all. I suggest that we only put info in your site that we don't mind sharing with the world. No need to put email-adresses there for those who don't want. OK?

My name is Melody Anderson My prefered email is: My B-day is June 5th/55 I don't have a Wedding Anniversary because I've never been married. My preferred craft is: Knitting. I tried crochet a few times but can't do it well at all, so I gave up. BG I live in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada (that's close to Toronto) Other info about me: I have 3 other sisters (one younger, 2 older), 8 nieces and nephews, 1 greatniece and 1 greatnephew and another greatbaby coming in June/04 (yippee!). I have a little green scooter that I use to get around shopping, or for going to church (St. John of the Cross, Roman Catholic) which I attend every Sunday - unless I'm sick. I just had an emergency gall bladder operation on Sept. 23rd. The symptoms weren't much so I put off going to emerg and got septic. They managed to remove a golf ball size stone and took the gallbladder with it. My favorite saying right now is: 'I regret that I have but one gallbladder to give for my country'. lol Yes, it's a sick joke but wadda ya gonna do? That's just me being silly! Just glad it's over with and out of the way! Oh, and I have a big sense of humour! Hate slapstick comedy - never like seeing people hurt and laughed at. Also don't like practical jokes, again don't like seeing some jerk get their jollys from someone elses misery. I'll be putting up some recipes on the new site and poems, when I figure out where to build it. My Angel Hugs site is on Tripod and it works nicely but I've been looking at Bravenet because I can password protect the new site there. Just not sure where a 'secure' enough site will be for everyone but I'm open to suggestions. Well, that's all for now. Thanks for asking! Melody 0 "Martin" wrote in message ...

Here, here!!!!
I too, must have missed a post - not quite sure exactly what was going on but I'm with you - I'm slightly less security wary than you but not by much and I've been on RCTY for 8 years and agree - don't fix what's not broken!!!
