Man, I must not have made myself clear.  I don't mean Todd shouldn't
express himself or his opinions as much as he wants.

Now I'd say something like a sig from his @personal account that
said something about these being personal messages, not meant as
indications of policy, yada, yada, yada would go a long way to
making it OBVIOUS that the person writing the message is personal
Todd and not Admin Todd.

I should have made myself clear that you had made yourself clear, and that I
agreed with it :)


Maybe.  But it would be a lot easier for one person (Todd) to insert
a little "Hey, it's me - non-Admin Todd" funny sig in each message
than it would be for hundreds or thousands of people to read every
message and check to see which address it came from, don't you
think? :)

Assuming that he did something like that, then there are *still* going to be
people who misunderstand or feel in awe etc! My point (which complemented,
rather than stepped on the toes of your point), was briefly that we should help
him where we can.. ie remind those who seem confused that Todd is just Todd,
and only LUGNET is the word of god. Or in some other, preferrably less tacky
way :)
