As ever, Mark, you talk an enormous amount of sense.

However, the nature of the 'net will (for the foreseeable future) allow people to abuse others trust.

A perfect system doesn't exist, and anyone who is seriouly motivated in a desire to 'wreck' certain threads on mudcat, will succeed.

Your ideas are regrettably pretty much unworkable, I think.

A real shame.

What will we get?

More cliques, more flames, less new songs...

Oh well

ps Mark, how do I get you as my GP?
