That's what we need more of in Discussion threads, actual discussion. Simply voting -- doesn't lend anything to the topic. In the midst of various opinions and ideas is usually a good compromise and solution.

I agree that a home node is a personal space, per se. But, it can be exploited. I don't want to check out someones home node (like a new users) and have a barage of windows opening, or be stuck in some Yes/No dialog box loop. Or have someone setting cookies, etc... We have various privileges at certain levels, and maybe using CSS and JavaScript should be privileges. I still think anything like Java apps or ActiveX should be disallowed. Use those things on your own pages off of this site (IMO).

Let's keep the charm, but keep down the (possible) harm.

Cheers,
KM
