The sign up process specifically asked me 2 questions (in addition to the graphical CAPTCHA):
Name the composer of the most popular organ piece (or something like that), and it did accept my answer of Bach,
and the more difficult question (for me) :
Name the most common organ stop (which I vaguely knew what a stop was, but had no idea what their names were... Thank you Google & Wikipedia!)
Thereafter, my first post to the forum also asked me to verify the CAPTCHA, and another organ-related question that I wouldn't expect a novice to know and didn't really know myself, but between guessing and Google, I managed to satisfy it enough to get past it. I hope to increase my knowledge enough that those don't rattle me, but I've already noticed that it has stopped attempting to thwart my efforts in that fashion, so I must have either worn it out, or the moderators have decided that I'm generally harmless and possibly capable of becoming beneficial someday ;)
I'm not an organist, and musically, I've only been a moderately serious chorus member for a few years with no formal training, and back nearly 40 years ago, I had a few piano lessons when I was going to college for electrical engineering, so I don't even have much background to go on, just an avid hobby interest in the mysterious art of those "boxes of whistles", but now as I grow older and have slightly more control over my surroundings, I can try to make up for the gaps in my youth.
