"What He Said" - response to "Steven And I"

Here's a response to the previously mentioned "Steven And I" article: "What He Said", by Fred Solinger, April 11. This was a link off of Fred's Bruce Springsteen / Morrissey comparison in his music blog. From Bob:

Bruce Springsteen and Morrissey?!

...I  just read this on a music blog I often visit.

Steal this blog! (May 16)
Excerpt:

...so let me make a statement and it's up to you to decide how you feel about it: early bruce springsteen is like morrissey before he lost hope in everything and everyone. bruce wrote "born to run" and moz has "there is a light that never goes out." both are about escape -- bruce wants to get out of that dead-end town with his girl by his side, and moz wants to escape out of this life and would like to think that there's someone committed to him enough to join him -- and both have a unbearably poignant, tragic romanticism to them. discuss.

Discussion board / Chatroom login

A new system for creating an alias / handle for use in both the General discussion board and Chatroom is now in place. If you use either of these, create your forums account now. You can still use the forums without logging in, but if you do create an account no one else will be able to use the same name. This is the main reason for implementing this system.

It's not fully tested so please send me any problems you're having (there are probably a few) and also any suggestions for how things are done.

As much as I hate to do it, there will be yet another login system for the main news page coming in a few weeks. Sorry for the hassle but after that I think everything will be set for quite some time.
