Hey Hondo 535,
I know exactly how you feel. I've been a member of that site for years and can't believe the crap I went through just to satisfy their re-registration process, and after I did so, I submitted the new registration THREE TIMES, each time, their program re-set and asked me to do it all over again. I e-mailed the sites admin to notify them of my dis-pleasure with their SiteNazi. Anyway, I've always lurked around Hotboat as well, and haven't experienced any weirdness here in that respect. Just chimed in to say "Hi"!
