Hi. <br> I would definitely recommend registration (as long as you make it clear that this info will not be used by/sold to third parties, like many sites do with their registrants). Registration might cut down the number of irresponsible posts, if ya'll know what I mean. <br> As far as loss of previous entries, please do all you can to prevent this, as I'm sure I'm not alone in seeing the value in a lot of those posts, and it would be too much of a headache for us to "copy paste" all the entries! Besides, what happens on a lot of forums is people wandering in asking the same questions that have already been answered. It's easy to reply to them, "Read page 7" etc. <br> If loss prevention can't be done, maybe add an "archives" wherein visitors can look up these past entries. <br> Good luck and continued success with this site! <br> nicholas

I think losing many (though not all) of the postings here would be a shame. There is information on the bulletin board that can not be found in any books on the subject. Perhaps archives is the way to go? <br> <br>P

Correct. I'm talking to my webmaster about not losing past postings.
