A bit confused with this statement...

No, it wouldn't.  Member benefits would still be the same, just when you signed
up to post, you would get a member number.  You would still sign up for a 'paid
membership' and 'unlock' the member benefits to your account - profile page,
personal page, set database, webring/index (future), etc etc...

(...) 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? (...) (26 years ago, 22-Jan-01, to lugnet.admin.general)
