I'd say the main problem with that would be that the membership files
are sitting on a PC at Coates Crescent and the web site lives somewhere
at some ISP's, with no direct link between the two.

Incidentally, the user name/password combination that was posted to the
list was removed from the Archive on the same day, so those of you who
have saved a copy of that message may wish to hang on to it until
RSCDS HQ staff can get the combination changed (whenever, if ever, that
may be).
