Just registered and you emailed me my password in clear text

Do you know nothing about security?  You just completely compromised my password!  EMAIL ISN'T SECURE.

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum...I couldn't find the right one to post it to.

So you log in with the password they gave you and then you change it in the user control panel.

No...it's not a temporary password that was auto-generated by the website...it's my own password that I typed in.  I already knew what it was.  I use it for lots of websites (I know I'm not supposed to...but I do anyway).  Then they email it to me in clear-text, exposing it to the world.
