After reading a post in the HPOCA forum, I think I need to clarify what this forum program defines as a &#039;member&#039;

A member is someone that has a username and password for this forum. It is not restricted, so anybody on the internet can post here, not just HPOCA members. 

To verify everybody&#039;s membership status would be an undertaking in and of itself. Plus limiting the board to HPOCA members only does not exactly encourage new people to join our club. 

Please keep in mind that anybody can read and respond to your posts.  Thanks.
