(When did this tread get reactivated anyway)
Actually I have sent them support for running it just the way that they do.
I found it truly simple to set up and run. And I find the level of security
to be appropriate. And I am sure that you did not just log onto your bank's
website & set up an account remotely. You had to go into the bank and sign
up for an account. The ARRL did not make you do that, so they need some way
to make you prove who you are. When was the last time you made a deposit
over the internet? The comparison of LOTW to internet banking is really a
bogus one.

Experience is the thing you have left when everything else is gone.
