By the way, let me retract any statements in support of McCain I may or may not have made in this forum. On one of the weekend talking heads shows, McCain was rather cavalier about civilian losses in the bombing campaign. It's bad enough that the bombing of innocent Afghans is the culmination of 20 years of cruel games the US has played in the region. But it's also bad military strategy.
Is Bush spreading stupid spores? Cuz it seems like an epidemic.

Another sign of the stupidity epidemic is Scott Shuger's great idea of bringing back flame throwers for the current conflict. Jellied gasoline? Third degree burns? Asphyxiation? Why not? These people are evil, right? For a minute I thought I was reading Soldier of Fortune, not Slate. Then I remembered who owned the magazine...
I'm posting this sans cookie to test the add-a-comment feature.
I could have it check to see whether the name selected matches a real users name and disallow those cases. But on the other hand this feature will probably be used most often by real members who are somewhere without their passwords (or access to their mail.) In those cases you would want to be able to impersonate yourself. I guess the (not signed in) makes it clear.

The "not signed in" makes it clear if members are posting. For non-members it potentially creates anxiety. See my comment under systemnews/suggestions (members).
