Going down virtual memory lane this morning, I happened on the website of my alma mater; or, to be less opaque, the place where I got my higher education qualification. I set up a subscription registration so I could access the site, my last one, whenever it was, had well and truly lapsed.

There's been a lot going on since I saw the incarnation of the website umpteen moons ago. The presentation was snazzy, friendly, and all the links buzzed you off somewhere useful. That is, till I wanted to get into the PQ section. The little interpreter in my mind told me that 'PQ' was bound to mean 'post qualification or post qualifying'. "Okay, that's me", I said to myself, so I clicked on the gateway. Why on earth, then, did I get a message telling me 'PQ' was a restricted area only for registered subscribers? 

I am a registered subscriber!
