I think this forum would be more active if you didn't have to sign in
to see the messages. I frequent a 10-string guitar forum too, and
you don't have to sign in to see the messages. You only need to sign
in to post a message or access the files, photos, links, etc.

As a result of having to sign in first, I only come here when I
happen to already sign in to Yahoo, which is infrequently.
