I tried to set up a user account, but it didn't return mail to me. Lots of
things are inaccessible without an account.

Some minor quibbles:

  * I think the minimum age 13 thing is silly. You can't validate it, so all it
    does is train kids to lie. (Easy to disable.)

  * I never found a way to edit the Modules menu. "Recommend Us" is pretty
    useless; I don't know what "AvantGo" means; in all cases the concept of
    Modules is uninteresting to mere users.

  * The "Who's Online" block is also dead weight. This isn't IRC. In fact the
    notion of being online using a stateless protocol is rather silly.

  * The "Languages" block is also dead weight (at least until you're ready to
    support Spanish or something).

Glad to see the link to the Residential Gateway article. Thanks.
