I *can*. In fact, it's quite easy. However, I greatly prefer not to,
since I know people occasionally post from alternate addresses/sites,
and also that machine/domain names occasionally change... both
resulting in people sometimes being unable to post when they'd like
to.
As this age of scummy email-marketers, and malicious anonymous-posters
slowly increases (and it has, year-by-year), I suppose I will
eventually have to push the lists I manage over to only accept
postings from list members, but it's something I'd like to put off
since it will cause some level of inconvenience to list members. Email
on this topic is gladly accepted, but personal email only, please.
Now, I return you to your regularly scheduled discussion of things
Gloranthan (hopefully).
Shannon
