 - The GaryBozek.com website software, Ghost, utilizes an email address as the user identification. There are many benefits to this approach:

• a cookie is aquired by your browser, which means you do not have to go through a login prompt every time you access the website
• it allows The Cynical Guru to implement an organized educational curriculum delivery process
• it qualifies people: if someone finds the material on a particular level is not useful to them, then they won't waste their time, or mine on the website
• it allows a member to establish and customize their profile
• it verifies users (through the verification link) to minimize access by bots/spammers and improve the experience for everyone
