AOPA shutting down their message board

I find the AOPA website very user-unfriendly. It insists that my
browser doesn't allow cookies, though it does, so every log-in is a
two-step process to find the alternative system for logging in without
a cookie.

I once complained to AOPA about this, and got an email suggesting that
I telephone and let the guy "walk you through" the process. I didn't
bother.

I would've been a waste of time. The last two or three times I tried to login
there, they displayed a page that stated they had some sort of problem.
Apparently lots of people get the "cookies" message and can't log in at all. As
I recall, the page had a title that contained the question "Why am I here?" I
think they could use a good webmaster.

At least you got email back -- they haven't responded to the last two I sent.

There's plenty of room for all of God's creatures. Right next to the
mashed potatoes.

I hit Reply to the AOPA email newsletter that arrives once a week
(whenever). It had a paragraph about how brilliant the site was, so I
responded with my log-in story.

Evidently a human being is behind the email newsletter.
