If no one had to "register" there would be no information to change! While I reserve judgment as to whether or not "registration" makes any sense at all (I suppose it could) such a response does not in any way explain why. 2) the second "explanation" given is, "It's always necessary when you program a website with a database behind. Security is important." Again, I don't get it. I have viewed countless websites with data bases that did not require registration..... I assume my own web sites have a significant amount of "data base" (unless the "meaning" of that term has some occult interpretation in computer argot of which I am unfamiliar). Are you talking about people "copy/paste" ing data from the site? The word "security" as used in this context alludes me. I suspect others have a similar take, but, as I said, perhaps I am just "dumb." I will tell you this - I refuse to even use "Yahoo" for anything because they require "registration." But, again, perhaps I am just "dumb."
