Keeping it simple does seem to be the key to getting many people to join a web site.  Often when we are about to travel and want to find out information about our destination, we try to go to the appropriate travel sites and register.  Before we know it, we are at a page that asks for so much information, even though we just want general knowledge and simple “how to” or “where to “ advice.  We fill all the fields and get to the page we wanted to read, only to find out that you must pay to get the real answers to your questions.  We just spent 20 minutes trying to log on, and we get nothing for our effort, but a request for money.  Thanks for keeping your site simple.  Maybe others will follow your example.
