I agree with Mikael, and add that once logged onto PI's forum, you can 
select "remember me" and subsequent logs-on are not necessary- until each time 
they upgrade their software. But the 'remember' involves using the same 
computer and location so if you have two, or move around the country/world, the 
'remember me' sometimes doesn't work. 
Second good thing: once 'remember me' is selected, I can click the daily 
e-mail reminder, click on the 'DeTomaso Internet Community' line at the top, 
and the entire Forum opens immediately with no typing and no log-in. You can 
read everything & answer posts on subjects   you'd not previously selected. 
On the downside, the PI Forum date in the e-mail is irrelevent; it opens 
the current page regardless which post you start with. So getting old posts 
means going back a page or more if you're interested in the whole thread and 
you miss a days post when its current. Their archive search engine is 
problematic as well. No one's perfect.... 
In the words of Bob Park, a U.S nuclear physicist, 'The Internet is the 
depository of the World's knowlege. It is also the depository of the World's 
B.S. There is no filter except between your ears'. So take ALL forums posts 
with appropriate grains of salt... J DeRyke
