Ok, I noticed that yet another of the password reminder emails went out - 
just got mine anyways.

I was going to apologize about this - because I did get one complaint about 
a password being sent via email - so I went in months ago and turned off the 
'email password reminder' function. I'm at a loss to explain why it went out 
again. I've checked it twice, once each of the past two months when the 
email went out.

Before I did into this in detail, I thought I'd ask the rest of the list. 
Who all thinks password reminders should not be sent monthly?

On the one hand, I'm not keen about sending passwords in plain text (but I 
assume people here don't use the same password for all their accounts, 
right?). On the other hand, the reminders also include information about how 
to unsubscribe, maintain your settings, etc. Those probably save me some 
time answering questions.

Thoughts?
