I think you missed the point of what (most) people posted about. They're
not talking on a change in the last few months, but in a change over the
past 3-5 years! I doubt the email/nntp authuntication had that kind of
effect on the community, in the few months it's been in force.

While one person pointed out the probem, he just proved that assuming the
community as a whole will behave is a bad assumption. Aside that fact, I,
personally, love knowing that I can believe the 'From' line in messages
from lugnet. It's something I don't trust in most electronic
communications, unless signed cyptographicly.

You don't have to post to the newsgroup (and clutter it) to say 'I like it'
- I think that kind of responce should be in email anyway. But if you feel
it needs to be posted, and the authunitcation bothers you so, why not
switch to the web interface? Members posting via the web do not need to
authenicate their posts.
