I noticed the password would be mailed in the clear when I signed up, 
but even if I had not, I would not have been bothered to later discover 
it.  What is the harm?  The sensitivity of this password is extremely 
limited.  That is, unless you are someone who recycles one password in 
other places.  You wouldn't do that, though, would you?
