DID YOU REGISTER BUT CAN'T LOG ON? Please read the paragraph directly above this one.

NOTE TO AOL USERS: Please DO NOT report the registration activation emails to AOL as spam! When this happens, I get a concerned email from my web host, who has already received a nasty and threatening email from AOL. AOL is anal when it comes to anything that even remotely smells like spam. (I'm surprised any AOL user can even send or receive emails!)
