I want my last $10, dang it

The Bottom Line Redeeming Eroyalties is great, if you can actually do it.

I don't devote as much attention to this site as I do to my full-time job. I don't have a WoT the size of Bombay or fancy wallpaper or irresistible sex appeal. I just have a few reasonably well-informed opinions on mostly obscure products. My pence (formerly thruppence) trickle in like blood oozing from the broken capillary of a moon rock, and I just know for a fact that the $10.27 that I have sitting in my Epinions account at this very moment, thanks to last-round income shares, will be the last $10.27 I ever receive from this increasingly miserly and user-unfriendly service. So my desire -- and I don't think this is too unreasonable -- is for Epinions to send me my check so that I can say bon voyage.

It displeases me greatly, therefore, that when I try to cash out, I get locked into an endless "enter your password" loop that keeps returning me to the screen where I have to give my name and address.

IS THIS SYSTEM SO FREAKING STINGY THAT IT WON'T EVEN PAY PEOPLE WHAT THEY'VE EARNED ANYMORE?

Yes, I know, it's just a temporary bug. But jeez, it sure would be in character.
