PLEASE PARDON THIS EXTRA STEP!

We ask guests to enter a simple code to access interactive features of this website.  Please understand that this "log-in" conveys no privileges, imposes no obligations, and implies no commitment.  It is simply a means of screening out automated junk advertisers and information harvesters.  We apologize for the inconvenience, but assume you consider the results worth the cost of a few keystrokes and a mouse-click.

YOUR PRIVACY AND SAFETY

While this website measures general activity levels, it does not identify specific users.  The only information we receive about you personally is what you voluntarily contribute.  Moreover, we've sought to limit the presence here of automated advertisers and information-gatherers.

However, this area is open to any human agent who can read and follow on-screen instructions.  So, for your own safety, you shouldn't use feedback areas open to public view (blogs, guest books, etc.) to post material you wouldn't want used elsewhere without your permission.
