Why do I have to register to view the forums?

[ScottW]

I'm already signed in to my account to view my bill and services.

Why do I need to register YET ANOTHER account?  How..?  Why..?  I don't get it!  

I'd love to hear why this is necessary.

You don't need a login to view the fora, just to participate.

Since the Neighbourhood is open to everyone, and NOT part of the secured 'My Account' customer section of telus.com, a separate login is appropriate. Your browser, or a password safe such as 1Password will gain repeated access for you in the simplest manner.
