This was the point I was trying to make, which obviously I wasn't clear about. The password bit isn't there to keep lurkers out, or keep people out who the vidder doesn't know, etc. It's just to keep the webbots that are programmed to go looking for suspicious material out. No vidder is going to refuse you a password. Many even have automated replies set up for requests that just send the password right back. Does it make more sense now?
