Well, in that LUGNET should "accomodate" the ability to set your own
password (something _every_ online store/site I use does) yes. And I
doubt Larry is losing his cookies due to "user error". Saving your
password in a cookie is nice, but its a boneheaded way of doing it
given the reality that some of us use many machines and don't always
have a home area mounted for personal stuff to go to.

Given the fact that Todd has expressed such concern over browser
compatibility, which could literally mean "accomodating" 2 or 3
people, changing the password system to work like every other site I
visit seems a small thing to ask.

I'd rather see Todd's LDT spent on fixing something that was broken to
begin with. :)
