Unfortunately, not everyone is going to get the model header right, so
you'll probably need (required) fields for name, email, etc. The only
problem is that you most likely want a comments field, which is where the
rules could be broken. It might also be difficult to track down rule
breakers if all the messages come from an ldraw.org IP.

I see. Although Jacob has been great about providing server space
(thanks!), you may want to look for a more devoted machine, especially if
you're interested in getting features like DAT Explorer on ldraw.org

That's a good temporary solution, but I don't think it's a good permanent
one. (That's actually the way the forms on my site work. I don't know
how to get C programs to run as CGI scripts on the chuh.org server (a
Mac!) so I put them on my dad's Unix server at work.
