...Think what would happen if YOUR email and plain-text Password fell into the wrong hands...
Not much, actually.
My email address is hardly a secret and my password is unique to this site.
All the wrong hands could do is post an offensive message as me and get my account binned.
I've always regarded this sort of thing as like betting - only put on, or in this case type in - what you are prepared to lose.
Plus I have some faith in the people with whom I'm dealing.
Those who are running and modding this site are well-motivated people who believe in treating others in the right way.
My details - and everyone else's as far as I know - on the HJ site were compromised at least once.
And what happened? It just made more work for hotmail's junk filter.
Big deal.
