You get a warning when you click the link. Some memberships, such as this (no cost) one, are so innocuous that once subscribed, it becomes transparent to the subsciber and one often forgets there's even a membership logon since you don't have to keep logging on. I'd prefer to maintain the free flow of info by providing whatever links are available for relevant info and let the "consumer" decide if they want to subscribe or not without burdening the "messenger". Thanks for the info jrc.
