Probably this is the wrong venue for this comment. But that’s self-reflective; I’m writing to say, “Hey, how come I can’t find a place for feedback on site function!” So please do delete this as you see fit.

I wanted to relate how “Delete” on comments works from the Admin page but not on the story page.
And that you have <p> showing on your People page.
All of this /after/ saying, “Woot woooot! I love it!”

p.s. if I sometimes sound cranky it’s because I’ve been at it since ‘72 and get impatient when basics are overlooked

A nice list. Without trying to exhaust the subject:
1. Forgetting UserName happens, whether it’s email or not. PWD management is an on-going challenge.
2. Fake email should result in failed authentication of registration. And yes, I think authentication as Step 1 is only reasonable.
3. Given PWD management (and even if not), the user should always be able to change the address to which they want notifications sent.
4. I think all those little problems can be dealt with systematically and effectively.
5. UserName can be uncoupled from login, so email for login and UserName as displayed name is not wicked.
