would be great.

Is it for bender or 1.0?

Another question: what's the easiest way to disallow anonymous posts but
still allow anonymous viewing of all pages? Should I fiddle with the
comments.pl code, or is there a setting somewhere? (running 1.0.9)

Markus.

PS: I'm asking because we're talking about closing the site for
anonymous posts. I'm against it (and doubt we'll do it since I'm the
founder and most active author), but still would like to know how
difficult it'd be to make if foolproof.
We're getting loads of traffic ATM because an anonymous coward published
500 email addresses of a wannabe-terrorist mailing list [0] - including
the one arab's email address who was arrested in Hamburg, Germany. Have
a look at the logs [1] - about 5gigs sent out in less than 24 hours ;-)
IMHO reason enough to talk about anonymous posts, but not reason enough
to forbid them.
