Anita,
I don't want to join because, bluntly, ArchaeoSeek is another thing that
will show up in my mailbox.  I have for years admired HistArch and gotten a
lot of help from it, but as you are aware, there have also been infuriating
posts and a lot of drivel that also has been in it.  I'm already doing
battle with enough stuff in my inbox, and don't want more.
Also, I am a technophobe, with an unreliable computer.  When things don't
work the first time, I usually don't pursue it.  And I certainly don't need
more passwords.
S. Walter
