There is just ONE POINT I agree with them about:
Don't use your banking (a.k.a. your "awesome") password on CathInfo. Please. Why do that anyhow? So someone can't hack into your CathInfo account?
Your CathInfo account is not a juicy target, sorry to disappoint you. No one wants in.
Even if someone managed to hack in to your account, all the real owner would have to do is write to me and tell me what happened, and that account would be instantly locked down. If any posts were made, they would be deleted. Total potential damage: zero. You have my personal guarantee on that.
It's not like a hacker could prevent you from writing to me. My e-mail address is right on the front page. Anyone can send e-mails there. Just send me an e-mail, tell me that your account was hacked and I'll take care of it. It hasn't happened in the 10 years CathInfo has been around, but I digress.
I recommend you use a simple, easy password for this forum. No need to use symbols, numbers or a long password -- unless that is part of an easy password for you.
