I'm not trying to diminish their value to the recipient--it

but if *thoughtful* feedback was intended then it would be made
regardless.

Yep. Basically the authentication thingy has cut way down on the number of
"make a 'gee that's a nice MOC' comment" posts that I make. Now, I generally
don't post unless I feel like I have something important (?) enough to say
that it outweighs the annoyance factor.

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.

Sounds like a neat ideer to me. I have static IPs at both work and home. :^)
