A few small changes that we hope will improve our letters and comments system.
  • Hey, it works

    I'm glad the new registration system works - although my confirmation email linked to an error page.

    I wish it was technically possible to track the old system aliases to the new one, since I always used the same email and alias. On the other hand, many of my old letters are impulsive statements of questionable coherence and occasionally awful typos.

    I think this will make me more careful, not about the content of my opinion but the manner of presentation. Even if can choose anonymity and still don't use my real name, the view all letters option means every separate letter is potentially part of the collective impression attached to my alias.

    It may only be a momentary restraint on trolling, but for many it will be enough.
