In lugnet.dear-lego, Brad Justus wrotes: (...) I've been cogitating on this from a technical standpoint and I think I have come up with a general workable solution, all things considered.

(...) I think you might be onto something there. Ignoring for the moment the issues of someone possibly wanting to change their code word later or needing their memory refreshed, what you're suggesting is quite feasable. (...)

(...) Yeah, this whole thought of calling it "snooping" seems ridiculous to me. How many times have you had to manually edit URLs you've come across because they just didn't plain work until you "hacked" away at them? If it's world-readable and (...)

(...) Not necessarily. Does (URL) contain links to all the users /~user directories? In 90% of the cases, in my experience,. not. Same for ISPs.

Um, btw, Todd? Why can't we change our lugnet password? Or is there a way and I'm just being blind? :) Dan (25 years ago, 9-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
