No kidding.

Perhaps the first thing might be to allow the same credentials to be used by new registrants. As I recall during my experience I could not register with the same name at one of the component sites because there was already a user by that name listed.

I don't know for certain but I believe that the other user was actually me from my previous registration at another component site. Both sites may have referenced the same DB and yet that other sites credentials could not be used at the new site because I was not in the new sites users file...

(I hope that makes sense.)


In any event sometimes these "Catch 22" scenarios can not be realized until the processes are "wet run" with dummy credentials.
