Grex New Account Request Form

This is a NON-FUNCTIONAL demo version of a web page to be used to request access to a new account on Grex.

If this was an actual account request form, then there would be all sorts of yack here about what Grex is and why you really really want an account on it and so forth. Or maybe just links to other "about Grex" pages.
