(...) Shiri, This *doesn't* solve the problem for people who don't have access to a browser to authenticate their posts. It also doesn't solve the problem of people who compose a bunch of posts off-line, then dial-up to send them. These people now (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.general)

Well, It sounds like the problem was a lot more widespread than I thought. Perhaps these "bad" people weren't posting in groups I frequented. Anyhow, it sounds like the security stuff is here to stay and will probably get more intrusive rather than (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.general)

I think that a great number of people are (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.general)

Amen to you Brad. I've just gotten onto LUGNET, and it's an absolute hassle to post because of the e-mail authentication. As to how anybody could like this is absolutely bizarre to me, it is time consuming and for the most part unecessary to 99% of (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jun-01, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.general)
