To me, too - cool idea. And I can definitely see usefulness, finding your
own posts, finding people's pages without multiple searches, etc.

Yeah... After all, how many discrepancies do you forsee/approximate within
less than 1000 people? After original implementation, it would (I think) be
easier to link new members with existing users (i.e. someone who's just
paid, and that same someone who has been posting for awhile; right?).

Huh. I never though of that option. Doesn't that kinda spoil the "join and
be a member" idea, in a way? Or maybe not. I don't know, it seems a little
weird, especially considering the "membership perks" would apply only to
limited members? Am I understanding this right?
That's a pretty big change.
Well, whatever you do, just make sure you let us know. :-)
