Listen, I LOVE this website, even with its imperfections. But there is one BIG criticism which drove me right up the wall when I first spent weeks trying to get on. Yes, weeks! And it threatens to drive me half nuts again!
In my many years' experience with computers, from my early days on the Commodore 64 until now, this is the HARDEST website to logon to... EVER! Just trying to read the silly characters and trying to type them in is virtually impossible! I CAN'T read the characters, and keep retyping different variations until I start cursing and finally give up. I remember this well when I first tried to get on this website -- in fact, it's virtually a nightmare from hell in my memory.
Right now I am faced with the same situation. I had to retype my password again, and tried all the various ones, but no dice. The reason is I had so much trouble logging on the first time that I must have wound up with an almost nonsensical password I can never figure out again. The truth is that I only am able to remain here because of the 'keeps' logon feature, and my computer remembers what my password is, but I don't! And I can't even get it to send me a new one by trying to logon to 'sampeckinpah.com'. I see those crazy illegible characters again!
I'm a smart guy, I write essays, been published, won poetry awards, I do lectures on the most intellectual films by Antonioni, Wenders, Wajda -- but here I seem to be a blathering moron!
Can anyone help me? Or, better still, can you please IMPROVE the way to logon here because there must be ditches full of bodies of Peckinpah fans dying of old age trying to get on this website!
