I'm sure you realize this, because people just never complain without 
actually knowing how things really work, but RHR isn't the only site. There 
are a dozen others, and some are completely free and unsupervised.

RHR is the only site I know of that is monitored, requires an agreement to 
follow rules, limits or does not allow out of country log ins, requires a 
password, and is logged by user name and log in IP.

My brain might working a little funny, but I logically think, instead of all 
the whining and worry about RHR, someone would be a tiny bit concerned about 
the completely free access to radios, granted to anyone anywhere in the 
world, without any type of logging or control, that already exists.

But then I suppose someone wanting to cheat would rather get a password, 
sign an agreement, be monitored, and pay a per minute fee for a logged 
controlled site, rather than using one of a dozen unmonitored free Internet 
sites with no logging.

That would probably be human nature, to pay to be watched and restricted, 
and even getting a ghost IP to use with a stolen log in and password, to do 
something unethical.
