why again?
May 11^th, 2009 at 1:32pm

And again I have to go through a

“dry”

period........

I don’t know why CH.com is for member only at the moment,

I just know that when I am at work I can not log on to the website.......
we should not log on to external websites from a work computer.......

It saddens me that, I assume, one (or more) individuals are ignoring some thing,
or misusing this website for what ever purpose...... and along the way causing others
much inconvenience..... or denying them from enjoying this website.......

I am not going to go into what (or who) is right and what (or who) is wrong.

I just know that by such acts, the individual (or more) put the responsible(s) for this
website in a situation that is most unpleasant, and I assume a nuisance...... but probably this is part of the “job” as an admin. of a website......

BUT

Dear Individual or more YOU deny me (and probably other) from enjoying the website and this is shameful, wrong.....and childish.....

You (the individual and or more) have no right to deny me and probably other the right to use CH.com with out logging in, you do not posses the right or the privilege to
force the admin. to lock the website to guests!

Do you not have access to all parts of this site? All I know is what I experience, and I am having no trouble at all. Could it be some kind of firewall issue?

I can not log on to CH.com from work, it is part of our regulations....
no logging on to external websites, other then our intranet...... I can go on the internet...... and see CH.com, but not in members only mode
So I can not enjoy reading CH.com from my computer at work....
I know I should be working, but sporadically I do like to see what is happening

It is a shame that this has had to happen, not only to you, Michael, but like you say, to all the newbies that are just finding the site.

Evidently, I am discovering, there are those personality types that just have to take things and twist them around to their own warped sense of things. And then they carry it one step further, and try to force their distorted viewpoint to others, and not caring what damage they do, just to satisfy their own distorted reality.

It really frosts me, to see this vindictiveness.

A conscientious webmaster, like Deej, has to do what he is forced to do. And the person, or persons causing this, feels good, because they think they have accomplished something worthwhile, when in reality, all they have done, is severely distorted the facts, and truth, and try to ruin something wonderful.

<sigh>

I'm generally a lurker too, if anything I guess it is more likely that I'll post if I am forced to login.... and that is probably a good thing. But I do worry about the people who suspect that they might have CH who aren't necessarily going to be keen to register as a member. I know it took me a long while to do so.

Anyway, I guess it is for a good reason ?

I did that back in January & had severe withdrawal symptoms for a couple of days before I worked it out. Cheers Barry
