Timely info! I'm in the middle of filling out LUGNET's (absurdly long) Member
sign-up page, hoping to streamline posting... but that's useless & dead? I was
going to suggest LUGNET make memberships free, push the donation requests more,
change member IDs from random numbers to user's email, blah blah blah. But is
that even possible?

Agreed! I love Preview. But this is an easy win-win: just add a 'Post' button
next to Preview, don't force the issue.

Also agreed. But that need not change if LUGNET moves to a different login-in
authentication system.
I guess my biggest & most evil yet realistic question would be: is it worth the
effort needed to save LUGNET? I'd be happy to volunteer, but I can't help feel
that most of the world has spoken, and moved on...
