I agree it keeps things more on the up and up. Really how hard is it to drop a message saying this is XYZZY and I would like to use your node to post spots, it at least shows your sincere hopefully.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

I think that’s a sad statement to have to make, but necessary. We had a club debate on the KY4KY cluster about just this subject and came to the conclusion that without forcing registrations we would just be opening ourselves up to exactly what went on yesterday.
None of us liked it but saw no other option to prevent random garbage.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
