Maybe I need new glasses, but I cannot find the logout button. Where is it? ---

Never mind, I found it. Sorry. ---

We’re like the Hotel California. You can check out anytime, but you can never leave. ---

I like that, Old Mopar Guy. ---

I had trouble figuring that out too. Common sense says you click on the icon w/your own initial, then you’d see a log-out link. But there’s another step. ---

Thanks for that, George\_San\_Jose1 . I feel better about it now. ---

For non-financial sites like Cartalk, I don’t bother logging out, I just close the tab. Been doing this for years without apparent problem. This also means when I open Cartalk, I don’t have to log in. I’m logged in already. ---

Nothing about operating a computer seems like common sense to me. I have never seen a logout button, but I have never logged out. Is there a reason I would want to? I am truly an analog guy in a digital age. ---

I suggest you not buy a Tesla in that case. ---

That would be slightly below a used Yugo on my list. I would also have no place to charge it. ---
