"without being nasty, makes me wonder what right you, or any other non member has to complain at all" John, I would never think of you as nasty, your comments are always fair and reasonable at all times.
John, I was once a member, the benefits were pm's from terminal bores who spoke to me like Jehovah's Witnesses and a message to my email account from the provider to say they had received a complaint from this forum, regarding content I was posting on the site.
Being a guest has more benefits, at least you have anonymity. In saying that, several members know me personally and we can converse through email.
