I just went to the setup page and entered my info. What is going to
happen if I (or someone else) makes a type or something dumb like
that? I'm mainly interested for curiosity reasons - I'd like to know
how slrn will report to me that a post of mine has been refused, and
if it will be something I can fire up a browser and correct right
away.
Speaking of that, what is to keep someone else from logging in and
entering information for other people at random, or perhaps worse,
with a specific target in mind? I know that can be prevented in the
future with a user login and password, but right now it sure sounds
like I could login and changed Larry's e-mail address and keep him
from being able to post. Can I?
