We can easily trace any student who asks for an account for posting
access. Just require an MTU email address to get an account for the
blog. Since they are MTU students and we know who they all are, we can
just hand student affairs that info if anyone pulls any shit.

Not that I think LUG needs to become the blog service of the university.
I'm just having fun countering your points.
