- If you have a ? as to why the file packets are passworded please leave a
- message in this conference area.You have misunderstood the reason for the
- password,the gifs can be downloaded by anyone they are not passworded,only the
- complete packets are passworded,which in short means only a sysop who wishes to
- carry the gifs has to worry about the password.This is done for 2 reasons,one
- to keep a listing of all sysops who carry the gifs,and 2 is to maintain a
- correct listing,so if a child is found we have a way to contact the sysops
- easily to have them remove the gifs.You spoke of the milk cartons,do you think
- they keep sending the childs photo out after the child has been found..NO,thats
- all were trying to maintain is a up to date listing.Hope this explains why the
- password is used,not for security but for maintenance reasons..
