Dominique,  just looked at your recipe!  Excellent work. I think the
old FAST Membership hack of your recipe can now go to the trashbin.

Thanks for solving my problem of what to do with a recipe I'm no
longer maintaining!  I really like what you have added.

One question though...  What is the reasonable limit to the number of
members you would recommend administering with something like
htpasswdform?  Hundreds?  Thousands?  More?

Cheers,
