I'm "EZotti." "Ed Zotti" is a spoof. I can't believe you guys think I'd post something that lame.

The fact that there's no email confirmation set up may be a problem for Opal. We have enough trouble with boomerang trolls even though we make 'em register a new hotmail account every time (and soon perhaps, a new free ISP, which is more of a hassle). If they don't have to do even that, I suspect they'll pop up like dragon's teeth. However, maybe you'll get lucky and won't get the ones with pit-bull-like tenacity like we sometimes do; and if Opal's site stays fairly small trolls will be easier to spot and dispatch than they are here. Still, she might want to consider requiring email confirmation.

I registered already (with a fake email addy, to see if it could be done). But I likely won't post; I waste enough time *here*.

Gaudere - I'll probably bounce back and forth a bit for awhile myself. Although overall, I suspect that as I spend more time in the garden and on my bicycle, my MB time overall will continue to go down. (Work taking me on the road a lot these days, and being sick a couple of times, has pulled me away a lot lately anyway.)

But you're right: I think Opal really should require email confirmation, and this shows why.

Ed - it had me fooled; at the very least, it was a very well-done impersonation, unlike 'ED ZOTTI' on this board a week or two back, who probably didn't fool the 12-year-old trolls.

Anyway, if that makes me the sucker of the day, I'm it.

I'd wondered where you'd got to recently, RT. I thought maybe you didn't like us any more and were catting around with that ho DAMB (Darwin Awards MB) or sumpin'. ::sniff::

I just registered over at Opal's, and it seems like email confirmation is required now.

She just registered the UBB software, so that might account for the change. Other UBB features are now enabled as well.
