You may want to change "staff" and "webmaster" to nicknames, or names...this gives it a less formal more comunity feeling that I didnt know how much I liked until someone actually did it.

Just a thought =)

ShadedDude,
Thanks. This is the second comment I've heard about the "Staff" login, an it deserves response. The "Staff" login is for Moderators and System Administrators to post general messages. In this way, return email comes directly to The Firing Line, rather than to the individual. We'll try to keep that to a minimum.

Our resident Webmaster, Zach, always signs his posts with his name. Since it isn't intended that he will be posting to ongoing threads, we felt that his signin as "Webmaster" would make his occasional post more understandable to infrequent Visitors.
However, we'll have him change it.

Hope that's acceptable.
Rich Lucibella
