tmp000,

1. You're quibbling over minutiae. This site is what it is - not what we call it. You have five posts under your name. When you get to 100, I might actually give a #### what you perceive this site to be. Until then, I'm having a real hard time believing that you know enough about this place to have a valid opinion.

2. Your definition of forum applies to this place. It is threaded. It is a true discussion. It isn't in real time like chat, but it is a topical discussion. It is not a simple posting.

3. I fail to see what names and passwords have to do with what you call this site. Clearly, most of us are comfortable with the site as it is. If you aren't, deal with it.
