Actually my idea was that anonymity for reading be prohibited also,
otherwise the playing field is not level.  But it's very difficult to
generate a truly "approved list" of people without killing traffic to
the site, which is not in anyone's interest.

Well I use Hotmail myself, but I could rattle off a dozen others I could
