 | | Are that many people really glad about the security stuff? —Peter McLoone
|
| | | Well personally I'm a bit ticked. How many people are really glad about these new security features. Is this really necessary? As far as i see Brad's idea was the best, keep it optional, if someone feels that they are being "cloned" as I believe the (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jun-01, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | There are some problems I have with your arguments: 1. The person who caused all of this, I believe his name was Matthew Moulton, would still be joyfully spoofing everyone the moment he found someone with this feature turned off. 2. Todd would be (...)

| | | | | (...) While I'm not "glad" that because of Mr Moulton it isn't quite as simple to post on Lugnet as it used to be I am glad that this security measure will in all likelihood significantly dampen (and hopefully eliminate altogether) Mr Moulton's (...)

| | | | | Okay, I'll tell you that I don't mind the security measures. If it will help make this a better place to post without dealing with people who just want to stir up trouble, then I'm all for it. Just check out Rec.toys.lego lately to see what I mean. (...)

| | | | | | I'm a NNTP user myself and only use web about once a year (if that!). I like the option idea Brad presented; I'll certainly be aware that I'm taking a greater risk. Getting philosophical, I figure I take a risk every picosecond of my life, so what's (...) (23 years ago, 22-Jun-01, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | (...) [snip] I'm glad for the change, although it is an inconvenience. I'm a member, but I prefer to use NNTP. If I've got something that needs to be posted in a timely manner (and I'm away from home), I can hop over to the web to post. Otherwise, I (...) (23 years ago, 21-Jun-01, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | | Todd changed it again, and for the better. When you get the email asking for authentication, you can now reply to the email, rather than going to the web link to post it.

If I read something, I want to know who posted it. If you want to play, play by the rules. If you don't (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jun-01, to lugnet.general)
