There are two issues here: #1 -- Be considerate of others. #2 -- Membership in the forum requires a valid e-mail address. I should NOT have confused matters by mixing these two issues within the same post, but this does not change the outcomes: a) With issue #1, the outcome was simply my posting "Please refrain from posting further tirades." b) LargePrime is able to resolve issue #2 on his own, without any intervention from me. He simply has chosen not to so far. As part of forum registration, users are required to provide a valid e-mail address. This is the only way to receive the activation codes. If after receiving the activation codes, a member decides to circumvent the system by deleting or providing a false e-mail address, this situation will eventually be discovered as part of normal maintenance. Additional information relating to the legal aspect of this requirement can be found here: www.ftc.gov/ogc/coppa1.htm In addition to LargePrime, there are ~10 other users who have chosen NOT to activate their accounts. However, NONE of these users intentionally circumvented the system -- they simply did not complete the registration process, for whatever reason. I sent activation codes again to LargePrime, but unless his e-mail address has somehow become valid, I expect that e-mail to bounce. LargePrime was on the forum today, reading posts, but has yet to acknowledge or deny to me whether his e-mail address is valid. Resolution of this issue has been and continues to be in LargePrime's court.
