Well, it seems to me that Joe and the Clones manage Guests ok. The new rule of requiring a consistent username seems to have mitigated the flame wars somewhat, although I wish that the unmentionable lady in Minneapolis would pay more attention to it. I could do without the obvious bigots, BNP, ultra-nationalist and otherwise - and they get squashed pretty fast - but I suppose that is the price one pays for an open Forum. Some of the threads degenerate pretty quickly into yet another "yes they did - no they didn't" discussion between the usual suspects, which is a waste of bandwidth, but that almost always involves two (the same two) members with the occasional Guest contribution. All in all, it isn't perfect, but it is folkie. And what is folk music after all, if it can't include different opinions and the occasional dissonance?
