Agreed. It can be. I notice it as a better option on certain sites, then others. in my case, the porn sites, it was a bad option. So we killed it. It did not effect sales in the end, nor did we get complaints.

I blacklist them with glee, on both processors. So that is not an option (for them to re-join).

True dat. On both accounts. Do a simple G search on your website(s). You will find many boards listed in the SERPS where people are asking for passwords to your website(s).

It's not mystery science theatre.
