Yep. That. I switched over to Web posting while in Europe;
I stayed on it now that I'm back, even though I'm not on the
T3 pipe (droooool) anymore.

I'd have to agree with Jennifer--although maybe it does make
the difference when talking about "ooh cool" two-word posts.
I'm not trying to diminish their value to the recipient--it
*is* after all a valid form of feedback, even if rather simplistic--
but if *thoughtful* feedback was intended then it would be made
regardless.

Isn't there any way to log IPs for login, allowing people to
send authentication *once* via email or log in via web (e.g.,
the "keep me logged in until I log off manually" cookie) and
then post from their NNTP reader? I know that most dialup and
DSL/Cable users have dynamically assigned IP addresses, but
if one could make authentication *one* step for many posts
rather than one step per post, it might make the verbose among
us (*coff* *coff* *Mark* *coff* ;) ) less exhausted with the
rote chores involved.
But then again, what do I know? I'm just a duck.
