That makes sense. I have always favored constitutional republics over pure
democracies as well.

I meant, because of all the help you gave last summer and before that and
after that, I'll help make sure that you get "lar" if member-IDs end up
being short characters strings based on names.

All right, could we do that through a lugnet.people ng? That'll be an ng
before too long anyway, which'll be capable of certain new neat things.
If you had "lar", BTW, your on-site homepage page would be either
http://www.lugnet.com/people/lar/
or
http://www.lugnet.com/people/?i=lar
(still more URL details to work out internally), and someday might
conceivably also be
http://www.lugnet.com/~lar/
but no guarantees on that. It's easy to configure a webserver for that sort
of thing, but I have to think more about how it all relates to directory
stuff.

Hee hee hee.

Hmm. Tell me again? I forget sometimes. ;-)
