I like this idea. In fact, I was wondering if part of it(the part about "logging in" so that name and email are assumed, I would like to look into this even if we decide against the other stuff) was possible several weeks ago. That would certainly make posting easier. The only draw back that I can see to setting up a system like this is web site maintenance. This sounds like a lot of work for you guys. I mean, as far as I know, all of you "work" here as a hobby, on your "own time". Will you guys be able to handle the additional workload?
