Zuespaul: I've been thinking about your concept, and I'm wondering if some kind of Public Folder system might do the trick. In fact, I think you were suggesting as much. You indicated that there shouldn't be a "delete" button because that could lead to mischief, but not having a "delete" could cause just as much, don't you think? For example, if you have a folder where anyone can file posts, what's to prevent someone from filing a bunch of crap in there - intentionally or even unintentionally, i.e. they might not think it's crap? I could envision that these public folders might become widespread quickly, so it wouldn't be possible for us to monitor/maintain them. So, what if we set it up in such a way that whoever started the public folder had some kind of "editorial control" as to what was listed and/or stayed in the folder. We'd provide some very simple mechanism for the "editor" to add/delete/rename sumitted posts. If you didn't like the way that someone was "managing" the folder, you could start your own. Just some of my thoughts here. Thanks, Bryan
