I agree with your suggestions. In fact, I think it helps cut down the trash on
Lugnet becuase you have to be registered to post, AND Lugnet always shows your
real name.
Yea, we still get trash (and different people will judge what is trash
differently), but it is not nearly as lame as this BOBO character.
I really like MOCpages, too, but yea wouldn't it be great if there could be some
controls on what was thrown into the comments.

P.S. Lugnet tells me this when I go to post:
"You added your reply at the top of the message. Proper netiquette suggests that
you add your reply at the bottom of the message so that people can read the text
in natural order from top to bottom."
I actually don't agree with this at all. I hate reading meaasages where you
have to scroll throught the trail to get to the new content. I don't actually
think this is a consistent netiquette either, as I see many interent posters
using the opposite convention: new material at the top of the post.
cross posted to lugnet.admin.general for any comment.
