I agree - Kat, don't go.
Just a thought: If we were required to give a real name and postal address
(to RDS, say) in order to post here, I don't think mts would have given
any trouble at all. Too easy to notify his parents, or lock him up.

Rob, or someone designated by him, needs to be able to subscribe and unsubscribe
people. It would help those who are having trouble unsubscribing, and allow
booting people who cause too many problems.
My suggestion is to allow subscribing only thru an e-mail to RDS, or perhaps a
form on the RDS website, giving a real name and address Rob would then do the
subscribing. At random, or when he felt it necessary, Rob could send snail
mail to the name and address registered, requesting a verification via
e-mail if you still wanted to be on the mailing list. Give a bogus address ~
no verification comes back ~ out you go.
Of course, no one would have to _post_ under a real name, if they chose not to.
