I noticed the password would be mailed in the clear when I signed up,
but even if I had not, I would not have been bothered to later discover
it. What is the harm? The sensitivity of this password is extremely
limited. That is, unless you are someone who recycles one password in
other places. You wouldn't do that, though, would you?
