Having Problems???

If you are getting this page every time you visit the site, or are not able to get past this page to the site, it is because either you are deleting the cookies on your computer, or your browser is not properly accepting them. If you are using Internet Explorer 6 or higher, try this:

  1. On the Internet Explorer menu, choose Tools...Internet Options...
  2. Select the Privacy tab (if you don't have this, you are not running IE 6)
  3. Click on the Edit... button
  4. In the textbox labeled "Address of Web site:" type bsa402.org
  5. Click the button labeled "Allow".
  6. Click OK, and then OK on the Internet Options window.

Why are we doing this?

This registration process serves a couple of purposes. One of the most important ones is that automated processes that are set up to collect email addresses from web pages do not seem to know how to fill out a form and submit it. They also do not seem to accept cookies. Both of these things keep them from ever getting to our main page to grab email addresses. Another reason we did this is to keep track of how often the same people were visiting our site.

What all this means, is that if you do not accept cookies, you will hit this page every time you visit. Also, if you clean out your temporary internet files directory, and delete subscription data, you will remove the cookie from this site and hit this page again. If you have any comments, please send mail to the webmasters using the link on the main web page.
