Never unless you simply must. So i guess that means not never. @n10i

@code poet - The membership system is extensible. Can you describe to me anything you can't make it do?

no, joel, i can't describe anything that I haven't been able to make the membership system do. You may have misinterpreted my comment, which simply implies that saying **NEVER** is usually, um, never entirely accurate or helpful. You may have noticed in the few postings of guidance I have provided in the membership tag that I **ALWAYS** recommend leaning on intrinsic code whenever humanly possible and even when it almost isn't, but that there are definitely cases where custom implementation is the only route.

So i totally agree with the substance of your answer but completely disagree with advising someone looking for guidance to NEVER do anything. People, especially novices, are likely to take you literally
