It is important that everybody who wishes to use our resources registers with us. It is quite a common misconception that only the group leader needs to register to order resources for the whole group. This ensures that users' data and e-mail messages remain private. We take computer security extremely seriously. Newly registered users receive an account name and password and a copy of the HGMP User Guide.
