Additionally, once you are a Lugnet member, when you sign in, you can choose
to have a cookie stored in your browser for the session, for a time period,

as you use the same browser. This makes posting via the web completely
seemless and trouble free.
I know not everyone can afford to join, but the one-time cost of joining is
actually quite low compared to other online clubs, and it goes towards
upkeep for the site we all use.
