I don't use .Net Memberships. I created my own role-based security model (did this before I started using .Net) and created data providers to go with it. Also, I use a ConnectionProviderFactory (returns an IDbConnection) class to maintain connection strings so my Dals can be completely independant from the applications using them.<br />

<h4 id="entry1196"><a class="external" href="http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/03/call_for_a_blog_1.html">Call for a Blogger's Code of Conduct</a></h4>
<p>Tim O'Reilly calls for a Blogger Code of Conduct. His proposals are:</p>
<p>An extra paragraph with a <br>break for testing purposes.</p>
<ol>
<li>Take responsibility not just for your own words, but for the comments you allow on your blog.</li>
<li>Label your tolerance level for abusive comments.</li>
<li>Consider eliminating anonymous comments.</li>
<li>Ignore the trolls.</li>
<li>Take the conversation offline, and talk directly, or find an intermediary who can do so.</li>
<li>If you know someone who is behaving badly, tell them so.</li>
<li>Don't say anything online that you wouldn't say in person.</li>
</ol>

<p>I find 1 interesting; I never thought of responsibility for comments, but it makes excellent sense. To me, 2 is something I decide in private, because I find it hard to articulate my exact tolerance, and it depends on my mood anyway. I implement 4 by deleting trolls.</p>

Undo/Redo doesn't work in IE. The problem is that the changes in the textarea to the right are also added
to the Undo/Redo stack. There will be no textarea in the final version, so it's not necessary to solve the problem.
