Well, I suppose that's one solution, Justa. Can't say I like it. If I'm a first-time visitor looking for lyrics to a song, I'd be unlikely to post a request if I were required to register. Still, we could allow posts from unregistered people to go through a volunteer before posting, much like we do for our links page. I think that would stifle our spontaneity a bit, though.

As for obligations to uphold the first amendment - I think Max just believes in free speech. I think we need to be very careful with controls. If we control too strictly, this place could lose its life and become a homeland for pedantic ninnies.

Besides, many of us like talking about religion and politics, and religion and politics are often intertwined with our music. You want to ban religious and political songs, too?
