I guess I'm still against people having to pay to either read or post. I think if someone wants to just drop in to ask a question and then drop out again, they should be able to do so. If folks access Mudcat at a library or somewhere else where they shouldn't or can't use a cookie, they should still be able to post.

I wouldn't mind voluntary subscription, and I'd probably go for it. I can afford $10 or so a month, but I'm too forgetful or downright lazy to click on the "Support Mudcat" thingie and go to the secure server to do so every month.

Dani, what we can view is the first post in each thread.
