Can the Admins have two IDs to post with? Firstly, an ID for admin type
stuff (with an @lugnet.com domain) so we see that they are acting in an
official capacity such as help with posting problems or updates to the DB
etc... Secondly, a non-Admin ID (not @lugnet.com) for member stuff. In other
words a "my opinions do not necessarily reflect those of LUGNET."

This logic is used on the LEGO employees and makes the line very clear in
what capacity they are posting. For example, Jake McKee LEGO employee and AFOL.

This way, when an admin posts we can see what 'hat' they are wearing. I
think would help prevent misunderstandings when as a community member they
are posting an opinion that may not be seen as appropriate for an admin to
post in an official capacity.

This suggestion has been made before, by me, at least, I think it was me,
and some others as well, but I didn't dig it up. (it was rather divisive at
the time)

Even just using two sig blocks helps a lot and I think Suz is already trying
very hard to do just that. It's easy to forget though.

Given her limited connectivity and the way that signin/out works it may be a
bit of a constraint to ask her (or Dan or Jen or whoever) to actually post
from two IDs at this point. I can dig up some info on why it is pretty hard
to do, it's from about the time that official LEGO ids were first restricted
to the lego.mumble.mumble hierarchy.

Was that in an official or unoffical capacity? :-) It's got a lot of numbers
on it!
