And you need to REGISTER in order to log in.
Actually, I have often bemoaned the fact that "unlicensed" individuals can
access the internet - it's like allowing unlicensed drivers on the highway.
I suspect Cailliau's desire was (as would be mine) to provide the "newbies"
with some very basic information. (Actually, I volunteer to teach
"internet" at a local senior center. I've often considered giving out a
"license" as a form of diploma/certificate - just never got around to making
the things up!)
