hello there,

I am just coming out of my lurker-being and I have a question:
Do I really have to authenticate every post I make or is there a way to

warm regards from Switzerland

The only way to get around the authentication would be to get a Lugnet

through the newsgroup, causing quite the little firestorm.

It's not a lot at the moment but more is sure to come...

Thanks again and see you!
Thomas
