I changed the account setup to Administrative approval. What that means is I will review & approve/decline any new members. Free/unverifiable email address are by default no longer allowed. If you register with no other info save a free email address your membership will be declined.

If you have no option save a free email address then email me at bob[at]ihmsa.org to state your case.

My apologies to anyone that is inconvenienced by this but the spammers are relentless! I know times are tough, however spamming is akin to a door to door salesman sticking his foot in your door.
