Well......
The system really should be a single step, as Janice said. You enter your info and start posting. The confirmation number is time consuming, cumbersome and I don't really see what benefit it carries other than to give you a way to track us (I'm assuming here, ass/u/me). You may have already fixed the glitch, but when you register, it says you are not required to enter your e-mail address, but when you don't and click the registration button, it tells you to go back and enter it. I find that a little disconcerting. Is this so if a person behaves innappropriately on PB, you can block their e-mail? Less questions to answer (or not answer) would be nice. The simpler you make something to use, the more likely people are to use it.
I hope this doesn't sound like bitching, 'cause I really do appreciate you giving us this site!
Peace,
