Hmm, given your other comments I'd want to be careful about color and layout
controls - LUGNET has a very straightforward and established look-and-feel
that we probably want to handle with care. If I look at what some MySpace
users do to their profile pages, it gives me the creeps.

I agree with you here, I have looked into the abyss of madness called MySpace &
have gone crazy myself!

What I meant to say was "control over JUST the profile page".  Agreed, there is
a nice established look with LUGNET, that it would be nice to keep those
aesthetic, but allow for some micro variations (eg. a limited color pallet,
limited changes in fonts (if any)).  Allow for some "individuality", but not
break the aesthetic.

I'm quite an active networker, too, and on all these "modern" platforms you find - among all that clutter - some desirable features that might be worthwhile (...)
