"..went to several 3D sites early on just looking to see what it ws all about. I stayed away from sites that you HAD to sign up for to even get anywhere on the site for a year or two. Just got tired of so many logins and passwords and having to registar at every site I can across."

Yeah I did that too and I know what you mean. I still get news emails from sites I haven't visited in years, just because I had to sign up to see what they were about. Can't recall my username, can't recall the password, so can't cancel their ebots.
