Can you name a major website with the sort of long-term goals that
LUGNET has that sides with your "setting your own password isn't
important" opinion?

Well, did you read the rest of that paragraph? eCircles isn't a
retailer - it is a _community_ site. Kinda like LUGNET. MyCNN.com
isn't a retailer - it is a customized news site.
So LUGNET may not, at the moment, be a retailer, although it does have
affiliate links to other retailers and there may eventually be an
auction system here that members will use for a price. Add to that
the fact that a membership at LUGNET actually _costs_ money.
LUGNET is a user-based community. Right now it is a user-based
community with an anti-user password system. That is _unlike_ every
other online community site *I* know of on the web.

It is conter-intuitive and unlike the websites we ALL use every day
(if we use them).

Insomuchas Larry and I are promoting the _right_ side of this issue,
there really isn't much of an argument. You want to carry your
password around on a card? Fine. You want to log yourself in
permanently at a machine that anyone can use? Also fine. I don't,
and I shouldn't be made to do so.

Well, you're the only one who has stepped into the personal attack
realm (referring to Larry's cookie problem as user error and now
this). If I were concerned about YOUR opinion, I'd worry about it.
But you're wrong, so I'm not.
As long as Todd pulls his head out of the sand I'll be happy. Your
head can stay exactly where you have it right now.
