Sometimes I am asked for a password, are there restrictions on who can use the site?

Occasionally when going to the site users have been asked for an ID and password. Some frequent visitors have been worried that we have made the site private.

When this has happened it has been because the server is undergoing special upgrading or there is some on-going problem with the infrastructure. These are rare occurances (although a problem with our ISP did result in 3 days off-line in September 2008). Standard updating of the data and upgrading of the server should never interupt the service.

Our intention is to continue to make these lists available without demanding any sort of login or money to access them.
