Lehman | LUGNET Admin <todd@lugnet.com> > > [cc Brad Justus via email] I read this article this morning and my initial thought was "great, here we go again". Let's alienate a valuable source of information again. Todd, if you don't want the LD employees to do this, then you have the responsibility to make it easy for them to switch posting IDs. I don't think that putting the burden to work through the posting process should fall on the LD folks. If you don't want them to post in this manner then it is your responsibility to mechanize LUGNET to facilitate switching posting IDs. The discussion about how much of a nuisance it is to change posting IDs was pretty detailed (I think it was Larry P. who summarized the process) when you first implemented the posting restricition.

(...) Jake, I understand and appreciate that it is still awkward to switch back and forth between two posting configurations via the web interface -- it was never designed with that kind of support in mind -- but that doesn't create an excuse to (...)
