Oh! Yes, he signed up and is now waiting for come kind of confirmation, I forget how it was worded, nothing we had to go through when we joined.
Actually, a friend of mine on here circumvented that for him and made an account the way people do when they buy one for anonymity. Alas my brother is feeling uncomfortable about it. So it looks like it will be available as an alternate account for us someday, who knows, we might use it. I do feel bad that the friend went through the trouble...nothing I can do about it though.
